dicked around in photoshop for about an hour and made a little movie poster

people CWing their shitting-in-a-hashtag as "joke" or "shitpost" are cowards. cowards

however, i do know that the sensor is still working because before i tried to put it back together and broke the springboard connector, i did manage to snap these pictures. there was still a bad connection somewhere and wiggling the camera daughterboard made it do some weird stuff, like the second picture where it went upside-down and contrasted
