Changing Black and White Photos to Colour

My lecturer showed us a way how to change a black and white photo into a coloured one. This is a very interesting thing to do since I have a lot of old photos I plan to change.

This was an exercise so I could practice doing it. 

This was the result.

I also used it in a project to change old Good Friday photos into colour.

Producing a Fan-Made Movie - Part 4

I finally finished the Trailer for this movie I have been working on for these two weeks!
I tried putting all 4 games in one trailer, but I tried to focus more on the new content (Jak X). So 'Commentated by Jak' is for Jak X since that's the new thing, while the trilogy stays the same with Daxter.

The new release date got set to June this year but unfortunately my laptop is getting worse every day and it will never handle a 2 hour movie render! The release date had to be pushed once more to a TBA till someday I'll get a new computer.

Producing a Fan-Made Movie - Part 3

Some weeks passed and we continued posting more comparisons with my video from October to the new video.

I also showed Jak X for the first time in my editing program and the results were quite satisfying. 
Since Jak X was never released as an HD version and is only on PS2 with only 480p quality, I showed them a picture of the intro in HD. I had been working on remastering all the cutscenes since 2012. 
We finally settled a release date - Late December from about 20th-31st.

A Year had passed since the last video - October 31st. We realized we weren't going to finish it. We decided to delay it till Early 2014.
