An example of what good software can do, and some tips on using it.
No Returns Without A Receipt, A Film By Yours Truly
Made on Xtranormal. I have mentioned this website in an earlier article. As an update they are getting a desktop version of their software out to beta testers. You can sign up and become one for free at this point. Since the last artical on Xtranormal it feels as if their server time has gotten significantly faster. I would remind you to register as a user before attempting to create a short. Using the menus is a piece of cake. One user tip I like is, when you are adding sounds, or camera angles, or any of the available options – all you have to do is leave the cursor where you want it and double click on the icon representing the Sound, Angle, Expression, or whatever. Once you choose it will insert itself at the cursor. This is a big time saver that I discovered in the Xtranormal Forums.
I hope this is enough to excite you about Xtranormal. I think it’s a fantastic creative tool for kids and adult-kids.
