Sound file

We asked a bunch of people on Canal Street to tell us their embarassing story. Our own stories are included as well. We had to do a lot of speech editing on the file. the raw material was over 15 minuts long, so we had to cut and lot of it out, and splice the rest into coherent stories. We also did some noise reduction, normalizaion, fade in and out and compression, among other things. The quality's not the greatest, because it was recorded on the street and u can hear some wind and other street noise.

She showed me how to do the most amazing things with using the very simple tools, such as lasso selction tool, clone tool, stamp tool, basically all the tools I've ised befpre, but never to create such an interesting effect. I guess the coolest thing that she was able to do was to replace human heads with cat heads:








Another cool effect we've achieved with Photoshop was merging to images together into one:
