Day for Night

Here a quick and dirty (and ugly:-) composite I just did against your background. I shot myself against a green fabric, with light coming from my window (too cold outside, hehe) , flipped it contrasted, desaturated and tinted the image to match the "light" on the parking lot. As a detail I added a "reflection" of the background in my glasses like we mentioned in class.

Quick&Dirty

So this is a really quick and dirty compositing. Shot with an iPhone in class against a small blue board, composited, tracked and keyed in After Effects. Total time about 15 min. I added some subtle "light movement" to the still background which we downloaded from the internet.

And, oh, yes I added a street ambient downloaded from freesound.org

A simple example of what effects are all about and how they liberate you from impossible locations etc.

Here are the elements of the composite:

Super Mario FX

I think this is a cool example that relates to one of the proposed Golden Doorknob ideas.
