I found this literally just now on somebody's Myspace page. What episode did this happen in? http://c4.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/8/l_a105c7e70e695224b2b24df2f5a6081b.jpg

That's from episode 42, "The Great Breakout Trick Operation." Ken disguises himself as a Galactor captain. They disguise the God Phoenix too, to make it look "evil" -it's pretty funny.

Ah yes, Captain Flower Petal!

Jun thought he looked better in that outfit than in birdstyle! LOL

I'm inclined to agree with her (except for the collar of petals) -the darker colors suit Ken. I spent some time tonight, using a new program -Adobe ImageReady- and a youtube tutorial, to learn how do do gifs on it (it allows a *lot* more frames, and more control over the timing, than the online gif-making site I'd used before). This is my first result.

Wow, LB ... that's awesome! It seems like you could do wonders with that program in your hands! I'm already looking forward for more of your creations!

LB, that gif is so funny with the silent movie feel and all!

That is sooo cool, LB! I love that GIF!

LOL, great gif If I remember right, in BOTP this was explained as Mark disguising himself as Zoltar, but in gatch Ken's just disguised as a CotW.

You did a good job on the gif, LB. You are a multi talented person. A writer, artist, Photoshoper and gif maker in Gatch subjects. Congratulations

That's great, LB! I use Imageready as well, but it's been ages since I made a GIF. Of course, I never did the 'silent movie' thing!

I'd heard there was an episode where Mark passes himself off as Zoltar, but I aways figured he'd just imitated his voice, over a broadcast -I didn't realize he pretended to actually be him in this ep. Interesting!

Thanks! You are a talented writer, contributor of so many thoughtful and observant posts and an amazing beta-reader. (And I bet you could learn to use Photoshop too). Yeah, I guess it is like a silent movie! It's high time then, TJ, for you to do another animation -your Gatch II ones of zombie Ken coming out of the ground or the shippy ep. 16 Joe/Jun scenes are great, along with all the others! I've had ImageReady since I got my new computer, but I'd never gotten around to trying to use it. I also have Adobe Designer and Adobe Illustrator now, and I have no idea what those programs can do.

Thank you LB, I love betaing peoples stories it is fun to be able to help make peoples stories enjoyable for others to read. TJ I remember your gifs. LB is right, you need to make more, when you find the time. I know you are busy right now getting set up for the start of term, just like I am.

What does CotW stand for again?

Allen It stands for Captain of the Week.

Thanks, clouddancer

Most welcome.

Lol I agree with Jun! I was reading through that ep in the ep of the week section and was thinking an animation was needed there! "It's high time then, TJ, for you to do another animation -your Gatch II ones of zombie Ken coming out of the ground or the shippy ep. 16 Joe/Jun scenes are great, along with all the others!" Where are these animations I dont think I have seen them yet?

Oh gosh, I'd have to pull out some of my screenshots and try to recall how to use Imageready. I haven't looked at it in over a year... but maybe next weekend. It's a long weekend, after all.

I believe a lot of them are in this thread: http://www.gatchamania.net/thread.php?threadid=1818&sid=&page=1

Thank you for finding that thread LB. It is nice seeing those again.

Thank you! They are great animations even if they take ages to download on my slower than dial up internet - lol I blew all my download on Gatchaman by the first week and have been shaped ever since!

Same here! Fabulous animations! TJ and LB ... you both rock!!

Yes, and I think there's another thread where I did a couple of Egobossler ones for Amy.

Thanks for sharing those. LB and TJ, you have a real knack for getting just the right action shots in the animations.
