~Ryu-Sanoske's Original Description

**Directions**
1. Open up both the film stock image and the Koku pic in photoshop
2. Duplicate and delete the background. I suggest keeping default names for all layers in this tutorial.
3. Drag-n-drop Koku onto the film image, thus creating a new layer consisting of just Koku. You will be doing this very often.

**NOTE!! The following steps are nigh impossible to 100% duplicate perfectly. The best thing for you to do is play around with it a bit to get things looking nicely.**

4. Press CTRL+T to activate "Free Transform". Scale the image down to a desired size and rotate it to be roughly centered with the TOP END of the STRAIGHT FILM STRIP.
5. To get the images to fit within the filmstrips properly, you can use 1 of 2 tools (to my knowledge there's only 2). Distort (under edit->transform->Distort) and a handy plug-in which I only found AFTER I did the entire thing using Distort >.> (Page Curl Pro 2.1)
6. If you're using Distort, zoom in on the current image being added to the filmstrip, and carefully move the squares around. This will take quite a bit of time, and you WILL have to do it several times on each image (that is, OK'ing the distorts then restarting it again).
7. If you're using Page Curl Pro 2.1, make sure to initiate "Real-Time Preview" in the options tab under the screen for the image. It also helps if you select the background layer as a backdrop for the image being curled (it helps immensely on the archway). Nevertheless, you'll most likely find yourself using distort on some trickier angles on the archways.
8. Wash, rinse, & repeat steps 3-6/7 until you feel satisfied with the amount/angle of the frames.
9. At this time, you should have between 10-15 layers. On the layers that are on the STRAIGHT filmstrip, change their Blending Mode to "Overlay" and make the opacity 35%. For the layers on each end of the ARCHWAY, make them the same as the straight ones. For the remaining archway frames, cascade the percentage upwards by 5% per frame, or w/e your preference is. Play around with it a bit! ^^
10. When you're done with those steps, you should have a pretty OK lookin photo manipulation. However, why stop? :) Having all the layers visible, press SHFT+CTRL+E to merge all the layers together into one. Change this layer's Blending Mode to "Multiply" and make sure it has 100% on Opacity/Fill.
11. Open up the table stock image posted above, resize it to 1600x1200, and drag/drop it onto the film image. Place it under the film image.
12. Merge those layers together now (CTRL+E is the shortcut for merging a layer with the one beneath it), press CTRL+A to select the whole image, and goto Edit->Stroke. Make the border be 10px, black, inner, normal blend mode, 100% opacity, no Preserve Transparency.

VOILA! You've just made the filmstrip that =ZeNeece had developed then placed onto deviantART! (well most likely not, but we can imagine right??? xD)

thanks for having this contest! and may it spur on others to create wonderful pieces of art!
