Tutorial 01

Below is several screenshot of progresses I made during this tutorial. The footage are a background of skyscraper, starfish, and a plasma TV.

This is the original images which has given a perspective it self. The picture was taken from bottom to the top. Thus, the focus point are somewhere in the middle of the sky. By following the tutorial, the several radius from the middle has been blurred.

Now, I had add a plasma TV. That TV was originally plain, you know. I did a little tweak learned from the tutorial video and there u go a plasma TV with the shadow on its face.

The next thing is the starfish. The significant of this part is to show the near and far; sort of the “depth of field”. The nearest has been adjusted with radial blur.

This is the final product. There’s still a little bit weird though, but the nearest starfish looks fine.

Lesson learned: Gaussian Blur for vision depth; Radial Blur for motion; Pattern for the plasma TV; layer mask for shadows applied to the surface of the plasma TV.
