Bert transforms a city's skyline using Illustrator, Photoshop and the concept of perspective.
This week, Bert creates 3D objects within a 2D plane by implementing the concept of perspective: horizon lines, vanishing points and vanishing lines. Bert distorts a recent aerial photograph of San Jose, CA by creating new buildings from scratch. First, Bert uses Illustrator to form the building by creating guidelines to match the horizon line of the image. Bert then imports his creation into Photoshop in order to add realistic features: Bert adds reflection, changes the opacity, uses the film grain filter to match the original photograph, and implements the blur and noise filter to make the building more lifelike.

Id say he meant the individual images. The image just to the left of the centre with the green llines coming out of it has a jagged edge along the top.if you blur that it might get rid of those jagged areas. Fantastically image though.

Give the images a little blur around the edges Because the edges look very jadged.

I was getting a lot of peaking. IDK if it was just from the Miro player or what but all the Rev3 shows I watched had crazy peaking. I was listening to music at the same volume with nothing even getting 1/8 of the way up the scale.

I don't know what everyone is moaning about, it seemed pretty good (apart from Bert brushing the mic with his book - squeek!)
But other than that, perfect!

Hear hear. Bert does a fine job. It's the production value that is letting the show down.

Unfortunately, the lack luster quality of the video greatly impacts Bert's ability to convey what he's trying to express. With zooming all over the place, horrible LCD recordings, intolerable audio, and the list just goes on and on really effects the experience and the things Bert is trying to get across.
It's like if you're sitting in a class and every 30 seconds someone slaps you in the face. The professor's lecture may be great as far as content goes but the other distractions really detracts from your ability to focus and learn.
