In Episode 057, I demonstrate one way to create a pseudo-realistic page curl effect. I started playing around with the idea when one of our viewers, Don Waters, sent an email in with a nice example of one. Of course it got put on the back burner like everything else in my life.

Anyway, I probably attempted to record this sucker about 4 or 5 times before I finally got through it passably. And even after that I decided to re-encode it just because of all the mistakes I made. In this final version, about 10 seconds after I start talking, you can hear my dog’s collar chime as he shakes. After that it pretty much settled down and turned out ok.

I’m not happy with the colour gradient I chose for the paper curl in both the intro and the full screencast. A little thing, but annoying. I should have chosen something much closer to the paper shade.

Enough regrets. It’s up, take it or leave it… But please take it.
