Your video helped me understand more than I previously did about lighting. Although I filmed indoors, I used some techniques in my newest production, a reenactment of the first scene of The Social Network. Thanks for the help and let me know what you think!

Hi.

Will you please do an advanced version of this to where it's like in a movie, where, it's day and the truck is driving toward the camera. But while it's driving, the day actually slowly turns to night and the lights come on at the same time?

Also, maybe, the reverse of it, where, night actually turns to day and all lights goes out. Thanks.

That's actually, what I originally thought this tutorial was about.

Hi Andrew,

Is it also possible to do it in reverse? What if I have a dark footage and want to make it lighter?

Further it's a perfect tutorial.

Greetings
Sourabh

I doubt it because at night, most objects become greyscale and lose a lot of saturation. To get back the natural colour would be very difficult and adding non-parallel light (anything besides sunlight like spotlights etc.) is much easier than subtracting their effect so streetlight lighting correction would be difficult.
That being said, if anyone can do it, Andrew can!

Hey Andrew,

a very good job by you.
i have 2 queries here.

the first is, how do i download the tutorials to my pc, and second

i'm doing a little video on a tattoo, and i wanted to make an OBB, so i was wondering if it would it be possible for you to show how to make an OBB... as if a tattoo is being done on a person. (like suppose i give the program a title, i would like to have the title come out in the form of a tattoo being performed)
i hope u get my meaning.

thanks.

Very enlightening on a number of levels on how to use effects certain effects in general.

But, on the specifics of how to create a night shot from day, I have to say I was totally surprised and pleased to find such a clear and detailed explanation of how to do this.

GREAT job!

Andrew's use of these tools is like an artist with a paintbrush.

greetings from brazil.

hey andrew, i found some problems.

here are some tips for you and the guys:
-the spot light should reveal the real color of the ground(not just shine).
-the night isn't that blue (depends).

but i love your tutorials. thank you so much for this incredible job.

(sorry for the bad english guys).

This is far an away my favorite and impressive, and more importantly, practical tutorial you have created. I am a little surprised it hasn't received as many views or comments as many of the others.

This has so many applications, it blows the mind.

Stellar work Jefe.

Very good tutorial. I've read a bit on DNC (that's dirty!) and your tutorial really did a much better job teaching it than anything I've ever seen.

I also LOVED the tip about the proper way to roto. I've spent countless hours on wiggling masks to cover things like that elbow that pops into the screen. Good work.

What can I say? Even a novice like me got edged. Your tutorials are not only inspiring, but life in people who don't even have interest in effect. You make the whole things simple. Are they really? Well, I guess the world is made complicated because of complexity. But now with Andrew, the world of FX is made simple because of his simplicity.

I can't thank you enough. I got lots learn from your videos. This is from Nigeria.

Keep the good coming. Thanks

I'm learning combustion at the moment. It would be great to get one of your fantastic tutorials for that, 'cos you make everything seem so easy, and combustion just isn't easy.
