Look! Up In The Sky! It’s A… Clock??

January 6, 2012

Alas, my first post of 2012, and it’s a day late: a January 5th birthday tribute to George Reeves who played television’s Superman in the 1950s.January 5th birthday tribute to George Reeves who starred in the 1950s Superman television series showing Daily Planet building clock, Clark Kent, and speeding bullet

Faster than a speeding bullet! More powerful than a locomotive! Able to leap tall buildings in a single bound! 

The show’s opening sequence with its thrilling narration remains one of the most distinctive and best-loved in television history.

I’ll be posting other birthday tributes with a clock theme throughout the coming year.
It’ll be a great way for me to try out new techniques gleaned from Photoshop tutorials.
A clock theme seems ideal for birthdays: it denotes the passage of time and offers some interesting possibilities for image placement.

Here’s a larger detail image of the George Reeves tribute. Scroll down to view the original opening sequence of The Adventures Of Superman, circa 1952.
