Impressive Andrew! You have mad skills, I just wished I could SEE the colors like you do. I have a hard time visualizing what a shot should look like color wise. I can lay out a movie script in my head in 10 min it seems, but have trouble coloring a shot. Anyway very nice tutorial and you are the best!

I would like to use this effect but have it transition from day to night. Could I just have it transition from the original footage, and then go to sun down.

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.

Man! I have to say this is an AWESOME tutorial.

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!
