 :wow:

You shouldn't have told us that this was your first photo-story!  Now we will just keep expecting more and more and better and better!   ;)  Seriously, though, this is very funny and well executed - thanks for sharing it with all of us.

Great story. It is possible to do outlines in Photoshop Elements, it's just not so obvious how. You create the shape, simplify it and then from the edit menu choose Stroke and set your options.



There are also some nice shapes and a style for that located at http://graphicssoft.about.com/od/photoshopdownloads/ss/shapes1_9.htm

Fantastic story!

Great first time work too, El Jefe! It's hard to get all the angles, lighting, focus etc., especially if you have to hand hold the camera, but apart from a couple of the early shots I didn't notice anything, I was focussed on the drama.

I love that Bad santa Movie, it's not all that well known, I guess because it looks at the darker side of Christmas, but it's got a happy ending and better than watching Elf twenty times!

I need to work on getting those speech bubbles going in my stories, they do move things along quicker.

Hi  :wave:

   Now I am curious about this movie "Bad Santa". After reading this Playmobil story and reading your comments I will look for it at the rental shop. Do they have any VHS rental shops anymore  :eh?:

 Thank you all for your wonderful comments.  :love:  Ras- I see you've tried out the superlame bubbles, very nice, wascally wabbit.  ;D  I would highly recommend the Bad Santa movie.  Billy Bob Thorton's Santa makes Scotty look like an absolute saint.  Don't watch that one with the kids.   ;) 
Tiermann- Tangelo has a good home now.  Those other pets are just jealous because they didn't get adopted for Christmas.  ;D
Oh and Rasputin, what is this V-H-S you speak of?? ??? Some archaic form of movie transmission?

Hello young shipper snappers  :wave:

   Yes it really rather ingenious but sadly i have to report  :'(

" By 2006, the United States had stopped releasing new movie titles in VHS format, opting for others such as DVD and Blu-ray. On December 31, 2008, the last major United States supplier of pre-recorded VHS tapes, Distribution Video Audio Inc. of Palm Harbor, Florida, shipped its final truckload. "

   Off to go buy a $10 Chinese DVD player and with all the money I save i just might buy some Playmobil  ;)
