Living By The Spirit
Here’s a short promo I put together for the new series we’ll be starting at Calvary this weekend. I’m really excited about it.
As far as the project goes, I had a lot of fun playing with Depth of field on the title animations and incorporating live action smoke and dust with the particles to make everything sit together.
Anyone interested in seeing this as a tutorial? :) Yay, Nay, or Meh? Leave a comment and let me know.
Hey Carl… nice promo video. I would love to see your calm, cool, measured approach in a tutorial for this.
Mark
I vote yay. Would love to get the how-to.
Pete
Thanks guys – I’m gonna put it on the schedule.
Hey man, it looks really good.. I really like the DOF effects, but for some reason, the smoke moving so fast is a little distracting. Maybe you could slow it down by half or a quarter… if its jittery you could always use RE:Vision’s Twixtor…
It just seems like ther is too much detail in the smoke and its moving too fast. but other than that YAY! for sure!

That’s a helpful critique, Topher. Thanks!
In past experience I’ve found optical flow on smoke to be somewhat hit or miss on smoke since it changes so much from frame to frame – but I didn’t actually try it on this project. I’ll have to play around with it and see if I get acceptable results.
I vote yeah and also maybe go into how you shot the green screen stuff and keying it.
Great input, Jon. Looks like I might end up doing an overall project breakdown. It seem like knowing how to put everything together is the missing piece for many tutorials out there.
Looks great Carl. Especially love the title design. Do I sense a new tutorial in the works?
@Dan Yup. Thanks for the comments.
Here’s the link to the tutorial.
