The hardest part of putting this movie <opps! i mean artifact>  together is finding the right actors  pictures.  I wanted to incorporate the professors and TAs into my artifacts.  I've made several attempts using the pictures of Jiwon, Steve, and David that I found but they just don't look right.  In the end, only two of them get to the big screen.

Dr. Evil & mini-Dr. Evil:  Using the pictures from the CSE profile and www.austinpower.com, I was able to use my image scissor to cut out Steve and David's face and paste it on to Dr. Evil and his mini-self's face.  At first, I couldn't decide whether or not to keep the hairs.  After playing with it a bit, I think it's better without it.  It's really tricky to incorporate the scar onto the new faces but it really enhances the final products.

Steve Baggins of the Shire:  I love The Lord of the Rings and so I want to do something related to it.  And so I though to myself, why not transform our very own professor into a fellowship of ring.  It's not easy shrink a professor nearly six feet tall <i think> down to a hobbit of less than four feet in height.  Luckily, I didn't have to.  I found a really simple picture of Frodo at www.lordoftherings.net.  Because I don't have any picture of Pr. Seitz that's facing a little to the left, I just use what I have.  All-in-all, I thing "the ring" fits quite well..."don't you think so, mate?"
