CS6 Photoshop: Trees,Grass and Reflection

Instruction and example

Four videos working through the time spent in class. The final one different from the example shown in class as the refection scenes are more dramatic.


Well done to all on the watercolour and sponge exercise. Just goes to show that  with practice, thoughts and tips shared have helped us all (thanks to Sid for the blotting technique). After the lesson I suspect many of us have conquered yet another fear and are curious as to what can be achieved with more practice (google 'how to paint in watercolours' and 'painting trees in watercolour').

Ice Cold in Balham

Gateway to the South

As Peter Sellers stated. 

I have put together and updated the video as an example. Still some transition issues and the Photoshop work is a bit sparse, buts its to give you an idea of what I require.

• Opening titles relevant to the work
• Some kind of angle/story
• Fly through with three scenes
• Three titles of the Universal Principles of Design that have been used
• Music relevant to the scene
• A conclusion/end of story
• Finishing titles with reference to music/film clips 

I have only done two Photoshop stills within the piece, but three need to be submitted. Try and keep it short and snappy.Plus the Photoshop is a bit sparse so I am sure you can all do better.
