I'll try to be in as well :diablo: :diablo: :diablo:
We once had a passion
It all seemed so right
So young and so eager
No end in sight
But now we are prisoners
In our own hearts
Nothing seems real
It's all torn apart

I'm hoping that I can stand a chance with some really cheesy image processing effects, not many effects and a great song!

Atm picture loading routines coded etc but waiting for the music so I can synch it all up!
