the wedding crashers!!lol

i saw the best bit of flash ive ever seen in yesterdays lecture! it was from the film the wedding crasher and you could upload a .jpg of your face and put it into the advert!the example we had was of a picture of some random guys face overlayed onto Vince Vaughns character! the results were hilarious, its definatly one to show your friends! the main lecture was mainly about multimedia file formats. although basic i did learn about a few new file formats and was refreshed on the others. it was interesting to see which file formats were popular and which failed. although personally i think the .avi format is possibly more widespread than quicktime and definatly more useful as it can easily be transfered into mpeg files which are compatable with many media players and codecs or ever into .3gp files which are up and coming and are useful for devices such as mobile phones and the sonys multimedia device the PSP(playstation portable).i also learnt about the different sizes of compression for different files.for instance a .jpg file is far smaller than bitmap images which are huge.this is where quicktime video is good because although quality isnt always to the standard of avi/mpg the file compression is greater and so the reduced file size is preferable for websites.

this blog entry is about done for now as my girlfriend looks extremly bored as i sit here typing! so have a good weekend or whatever!:D
