I guess this is my last portrait gallery. I'm not good at it at all.
There are still a lot of actors in this movie that I'll make their portraits some other time

PS. Wow. I don't know what happened to Rain Li but she looks much more prettier

That's a great gallery... what do you mean?

[Teddy Wong]

I mean that it takes me a lot of time to make one gallery, and there are a lot of actors that I didn't make their portraits from this movie.
I can just amaze how Bearserk make all of his galleries
There were galleries that I didn't finished like Star runner and God.com, so I didn't upload them.
And the most annoying thing is to make portraits of a people who appears in the movie for less than 5 seconds or these ones, who are not seem to be an actors, for example the bottom line in BTB gallery - these three play shops owners - I'm pretty sure they are real-life shop owners and not actors.

How long does it normally take? I probably spend 2-3 hours to do a full gallery. What programs do you use?

There are a lot of extras who will probably never be identified because they are just people off the streets or in shops. I don't always get portraits for them (maybe a good group shot). You never know who'll turn out to be the next Stephen Chow though

5-6 hours. To view the movie - VLC, when I want to take a screenshot I switch movie to slowplaying and press PrintScreen button, then I copy it to PaintShop, I delete all the stuff I don't need on the picture and then I copy it to Photoshop where I make the picture squared and save it as JPEG.

I watched "My wife is 18" yesterday and was surprised: The futureteller's role is playing a real futureteller (I saw him in TVB Geomancy program) and it was kind of a big role.

It should be a lot quicker to capture all the images first, then use XNView to correct aspect ratio and convert to jpg all at once.

Then use XNview again to go through each image and crop out portraits

Well, I'm more used to my method Like Jackie Chan said that nowadays everyone edits movies on computers but he uses old way by glueing bobbins because he is more used to it.

But editing images is not the problematic part - I do it chick-chack
Thing that takes most of the time is finding an approporiate moments for the images in movie itself, because I'm too lazy to make all the portraits at one dash - I take portraits of identified persons first - and then the unidentified - so I have to watch movie twice (or even more).
