Create a Story Book DVD
By art coach | June 1, 2007
Do you have a storybook you have illustrated? If yes, this series of postings will be for you. A few years ago my wife wrote a children’s story. I created images for her story and had them enlarged to “30×40″ on large illustration boards. She used these poster boards to dramatically re-create the story to audiences of children and adults.
Recently, we decided to create a DVD of the story. The story is called, Crumbsnatcher Gets a New Name. It is a powerful story about the influence of relationships on the character of our children.
We used voice overs, created music and designed a graphic layout for the dvd box and label. (See image above) But more on that later. Lets start from the very beginning.
Here are the steps I used:
Step 1. I took all the large images and photographed them outdoors. I used a digital Canon G3 camera and put them on a setting for outdoor light. I used a large file format.
Step. 2. All the images were brought into a Mac G4 computer and I used Adobe Photoshop for color correction. Note: You can use Photoshop on windows, it does not matter.
