I Didn't Know That...


Bottletop had a visit last week from Johnny and Richard, presenters of National Geographic channel's 'I Didn't Know That'. Director John Boam needed to illustrate the merits of Photoshop to viewers - particularly its uses in photo-retouching. Johnny and a male model were shot against green screen in the studio. One of Bottletop's designers, Mark, was then filmed retouching Johnny's six-pack and stubble by borrowing elements of the male model's body and successfully turned back the years without any need for cosmetic surgery!

The school is currently under construction and the animation has been developed as part of a DVD to help parents of prospective pupils understand the benefits of the move and the improved facilities that it will bring to the school.
