Hi guys, well I mentioned in my new job post that I made this viral email thing, so to get the full effect when I send it on to you what I need is:

first name
surname
email address

That way I can make it personalised to each of you seperately,
it would be best if you give me your real names but if your too paranoid that I might do something ( not sure what I could do ) with them then just make up a name and give me your really email addy.

Either post them here or pm me if you want some privacy.

Cheers

Jack

ps, it will be a million times better if you supply me with real names

if you really really dont want to put in your real name then just put in a fake name, but you will be spoiling the effect :roll:

Wow that is really something else, I must say I have never seen anything like it. One thing that makes it so cool is my last name was pronounced perfectly, most people always say it wrong. Nice Job, wish I could do something like that. If its not too much, what programs did you use to make it? Im going for a Bachelors Degree in Web Development and would someday like to do the things you do, just curious what you used.

Good Luck with the new Job as well.

Well I tried getting it to say my friends name, d'souza, it didnt like that either :)

Well I guess its not perfect but pretty cool all the same.

Echo, we used Adobe After Effects, Photoshop, Illustrator and Streamline. Also Soundforge, Final Cut Pro, Flash MX, Dreamweaver MX, Quicktime pro and Sorenson Squeeze and 3ds Max, I think thats all of them.

The backgrounds were still shots taken in new york, the guy was filmed on blue screen in london and we pasted him into the scenes we had set up, lots of time consuming stuff but worked out ok.

The voice thing , I will find a link to the site that supplied us with the voice, theres a similar thing called readplease do a search on google for it.

Also there was lots of amazing scripting, also on the send to a friend page make sure you dont miss the ACCESS CASE FILE, it links to a super cool microsite, lots of toys on there to play with :)

NICE! very professional, the guy was a little skippy in the scenes with the still shots and walking and all that. but you can only do what's possible :)

the pronounciation was perfect! it read my name out just right, but i have a generic name. (George Lester)

the handwriting was excellent too! must have taken some serious work to get that right.

i'm going to try it out under my other name :D
