Just made or got from pictures the various assets in photoshop and pasted them in frame by frame into the gif. Adjusting various opacity/modes frame by frame for flickers and to match the camera and such.
Actually a lot of the work was wasted, it was larger and 3x as many frames with more and longer lightning but it was like 4 mb and I had to get it under 1 mb for photobucket (and politeness to the internet) so I deleted bits, resized it and took out every other frame.
The only real trick was copying the last frame with krod in it and editing k-rod out of it for a clean BG template to have the glowing skeleton bit fade out over. I now notice I went over the fsn logo 0.o
I only got fireworks installed two days ago, but making gifs with it seems pretty intuitive for those with basic photoshop knowledge. Meticulous to copy in and adjust things frame by frame, but not terrible.
Maybe more relevant than you think since I’m a Rangers fan.
I just figured with the k-rod stuff going down in Seattle this blog would be a good place to post them. Seems to be =p
This was the worst Felix day ever because I stopped caring how he was pitching

Felix is sleeping on the couch until he gets his act together.

The sad thing is that I don't think he knows how to kiss and make up.

That will be a glorious day should it happen.
JI - September 14, 2008

Most of us here are smart enough to click your user profile and figure that out.
But yes, continue with the funny and not the crazy.
