Thanks,

I'm familiar with most of those sites, and looked through some other ones but none have a 'filmstrip' type tutorial...
I know that Paint Shop Pro has a took to make filmstrips, wish PS had one of those, :-/

this was something that I had been looking fo for quite a while.

I couldn't find anything so I scanned in a 35mm film strip and took it fron that.

I will post a detailed tutorial here tonight.

Hi, did anyone find a tutorial for this? I am also looking for a film-strip tutorial. Thank-you.

Get your hands on a piece of film or a picture of one. I found that a quick search on google did the trick.

A flat one is the best and the clearer the better.

Cut down the image so that you only have 1 cell. Remembering to leave half of the black section between the cells.

Making sure you are just drawing the path use the rectangle path tool to mark out the outer section of the film and then the cell (image area).

Then draw one of the sprocket holes with the rounded rectangle with a corner radius of about 5 (I find that it gives the best fit.)

Use this as the template and copy and paste for all 4 on one side of the film.

You will probably notice that one of the sprocket holes is cut in half on the image.

I usually move them so that all 4 sit within the outer path.

once you are happy with this copy and paste these and move them to the bottom.

Double click on the path you are working on (called work path) and rename it to 'original film'. Save the document.

Now you can ditch the image.


I enlarge the image to 20H x 40W. (cm)

Select the entire path and copy it.

Deselect then path 'original film' and paste your path. Move it to one side and paste again hit ctrl+T for the transform and move the frame so that it lines up with the first one.

Do this till you have the number of frames you Want I have stopped at 4.

Now to the drawing stage. This is where a little bit of experimentation comes in.

Make a new layer; select the brush tool and a size 5 brush in black will be fine.

Right click on the path and select stroke path and select the brush.

Right It looks a little odd, but bear with me.

Go to filter>distort>wave.

If you cant see anything in the preview window cancel it and make sure u have the right layer selected. If you still can't see it make the brush larger and stroke it again.

Right a good start is the following

Generators : 1
Wavelength Min : 197
Wavelength Max : 666
Amplitude Min : 62
Amplitude Max : 150
Scale H : 1
Scale V : 100

Now click ok.

You now have your basic set-up.

You can create a new layer and do a fill path.

Paste your images onto layers behind this. remove any excess image and merge them onto 1 layer

Then run the wave filter on them and the film and hay presto they fit.

You can go on with a little perspective and make them go into the distance, or look as if they are o a table rather than stuck to the screen.

Add a little drop shadow for depth. Add some shadow to the image on a grouped layer for a little more realism. It goes on.

If you would like me to add to this with some of these let me know.

For now I will leave you to experiment with what we have so far.

Have fun playing and let me know if you need more help.

Oh I nearly forgot to mention the reason I used the paths is that you can resize them as much as you want and redraw. This comes in really handy if you are using the same or similar style for different projects.

If you use this post something up on the web and let me know.
