I should have said this earlier...

But I have a new blog set up that is updated a lot more frequently than I ever updated this one. Also, I probably won't be updating this one anymore because of it. So if there's actually someone out there reading this, please go check out my new site, located at:


See you there,

Day to Night Conversion

With the help of videocopilot.net (Andrew Kramer is a GENIUS) I learned how to do some Day-to-Night conversion. To learn this technique for yourself, watch his tutorial HERE.

I've provided some screen grabs of what I did to end up with the final result. I just used a still image for practice, but the real one I'm going to do will be video. I just need to FILM the video asset still *sheepish grin*.

1) Original photograph.

2. Crushed the brightness, made it kind of bluey.

3. Made the sky even more inky blue than the rest of the photo. Used a feathered mask to make it blend in with the road.

4. Added some spots on the ground where the street lamps will hit.

5. Added some glow to the street lamps as well as a the fall-off from the light. This wasn't necessary but I liked the look better with it than without.

6. Added some lights to the traffic lights and cross signal.

Actually, uh, it's up. Click the picture above to check it out or copy and paste the web address: http://www.lauranicole.ca/

It's full of bugs and and stuff and I haven't made the "Projects" page yet, but it's up. Also, it doesn't have a pre-loader right now so if you're on a slow internet connection I'M SORRY. You can either let it load or not bother and stay here instead because there's so much more content on my blog than there is on the website.

Anyway, leave a comment here if you do look at it and let me know if you encountered any problems or whatever. Feedback is appreciated especially since I suck at Flash and I want to know what I did wrong.
