Doc

I have not had any success trying to create a 'movie can' image. My idea is to have one lying on a table that you can click on to view a small movie. (you'll see the table I mean at the link below)

Ideally, I'd like an image I can 'stack' to create multiple links with and with an edge I can add the movie title.

Here's the link with the table I'm referring to:

If you click on the movie screen in the back, you can view one of my movies.

BTW, I now have 54 songs on my jukebox and have sorted out the problems with those of you that couldn't listen to the music if you have a clean install of Windows XP and SP1...just click on the jukebox image on the same page link above.

Any help would be greatfully appreciated...and I hope you enjoy the music (and the movie). [excited]

Hi Doc, tested out the songs and they all work now on my XP SP1, well done [righton]

Amazing stuff there and works great over here. Great work!

Wish I could help u out with the movie can render, but I'm still an amateur. At any rate, I love the music!

Hey Doc how about stacking old movie reels? Just a thought... [confused]

Yes, I love the "golden oldies" and have B/M'd your midi page! [righton]
Tunes are great!

Doc

I'd love to use 'stacked movie reels' but I haven't found a decent image that I could use for that yet...besides, I'd like to include a label showing the movie title on the side.

Here's what I have so far. It's a cut down image of a larger metal can.

Graphically, it seems creating a cylinder is not so easy...at least not for me. Any tutorials out there you might be aware of? I could probably use the image above but am having trouble getting a label to have the same curved shape.

Glad you like the music...I think I was born a few years too early sometimes.

BTW, no comments on the movie yet...I think you'll like it [confused]

Well, I found the perfect solution to my quest for movie reels. If you click on my link below, you can see what I came up with.

I have three movies set up so far. These are cartoons from WWII. The first is Bugs Bunny, Elmer Fudd and Porky Pig selling war bonds. The other two features Private Snafu starring in Army Training Films.

These are pretty large files so...If you have a slow connection like I do, you can right click on a movie title, then select 'save target as' to download to your computer.

Hope you enjoy them.

Very very nice, Doc!

I had seen your question before, but although I worked in a movie theatre years ago and had seen "movie cans" many times, I couldn't remember exactly what they looked like! And, as the theatre's manager, I was in the projection room at times; your image looks a lot like it!

Great job Doc! [righton]
