Topic: Digital clock effect

Hello, I need to show an alarm clock in my next brickfilm, and there has to be a digital face that shows when the alarm is set or not. I do not have any fancy editing program like after effects or sony vegas, so I'm thinking I have two options:
1. A kind member of BiM will volunteer to do it for me. mini/smile
2. I'll find some way to do it in Gimp mini/blankexpression (my main concern is that I don't know how to make the digital red glowy numbers)
3. find some way to adjust my story so that I don't need it done. mini/sad
edit: 4. learn to count mini/lol

Oh and This needs to be done by December 20.
I can post a frame of the lego alarm clock I made at some point.

edit: here is the alarm clock: http://imm.io/2hSL

Re: Digital clock effect

We could do it for you, however we would need the full clip, not just an image.  Also, we could only do it if nothing ever passed in front of the clock itself.

Re: Digital clock effect

I have After Effects and could probably do it for you.

Re: Digital clock effect

So, you want us to put the effect on a frame?

If it's just a shot or two, I'm game to give it a try. I also have AE.

No It's going to be a couple shots, possibly moving, but I can try to make it as easy as possible.

Re: Digital clock effect

anyone who volunteered, you can practice on the picture I linked to in the first post, there will likely be 4 or 5 shots with it, perhaps some with moving camera, and I think there is one moment when he walks in front of it. If this is too difficult, I can try and make it easier and find some way to get it in less shots (or at least the front of it) and I can avoid having it moving if i need to. but I would like to have what I originally planned if someone is willing. Thanks so much mini/smile

A rough demo I threw together in 20 minutes. I wasn't about to download a font just for this. Excuse the large file size... I accidentally exported using the settings I was using for the other project I'm working on and didn't realize it until after I'd uploaded it. If you need a smaller one, let me know.

I can handle everything you're asking for, but if you've got a deadline for this project within the next week or two, you'll probably want to go with someone else. It shouldn't take me too long once I'm able to get to it, but getting to it might take a few days.

Re: Digital clock effect

the deadline is the 20th of December as it says in my first post. Wow! that looks great! I will try to get the animation with the alarm clock in it to you as soon as possible. Thank you so much! (oh and the font looks fine)
noodle I sent you a PM
