Here’s one on the side of upgrading the old Mac Pro:

It looks to me like a very subtle application of StarGlow. By setting the threshold of the effect, you can control where the effect shows up (sparsely in this case), and also make sure that you’re using the original colors, not one of the colored effects.

I would create an Action in Photoshop (basically record your 1 time conversion and save it), and make it available to Adobe Bridge. Then just navigate to your directory where the 500 photos are, and run it:

The real trick to reducing sibilance is to make sure it never makes it to the recording, by doing some diction training to help reduce the effect:

The next trick is to make sure you have a pop filter in front of your mic, which will help reduce the plosives (p’s and t’s), but doesn’t do a whole lot for the sibilance, other than keep you at the proper distance from the mic. If you have to fix it after it’s recorded, the de-esser in Audition will help, but your best bet is to train yourself, and use the pop filter, which you can get for short money on *bay:

Pond5 has a lot of good music at good prices, but searching is not as well organized as on a dedicated music site.

How about putting a stroke (in Layer Effects) on the regular font which matches, as closely as possible, the bold version, then doing a dissolve between the two? I can’t imagine that a dissolve between a bold and a regular typeface would look so much different from a morph as to be very noticeable, unless, of course, it’s happening very slowly, then you’d see the outline growing, rather than dissolving.

Just creat a rounded box in Photoshop, either snapping to guides with the pen tool, or using a Custom Shape (or downloading a freebie on the net, and reshaping to taste). Fill it with white, then using Layer Styles (double-click the layer you want to add the style to), add a Gradient Overlay, and maybe a very slight Internal Shadow. that should do it.

I think the only way you’re going to get refraction (the distortion you see when looking through the bubble) is with a 3D application, possibly using Element 3D for your bubbles (or an external 3D app). Here’s a tutorial on the process using Element – although it’s for water, the refraction index for both bubbles and water is 1.33, so the results would be identical.

Trapcode Particular can surely do the bubble motion, but you may need to fool the eye as to the refraction, by using a reflection map on your bubble design which would make it impossible to tell whether the bubbles are really refracting the background. I suppose you could use the bubble layer as a distortion map in After Effects, and achieve a sort of refraction that way.

It’s often called The Kid Stays in the Picture photo effect. Do a search on it, and you’ll see why.
