I had made the Al Borland avatar for Fellowship Week 2004, but I ended up using Charles Ingalls. So I used him for FW05, but then I was stuck with him for a while until I finally got everything situated with my new computer (learning Photoshop, converting the Turbo logo, etc.). Boy did I get sick of this one!
I found a cool picture/video capture application called Snapz X Pro that let me get that Uncle Rico footage from the Napoleon Dynamite DVD. Once I got the hang of Photoshop/Image Ready, I found that it was much easier to manipulate animation than my old Corel Photopaint 8.0. I had a lot more headaches making that animated Spidey avatar.
