very nice! the smoke in the first one wasn't too convincing, try some other blending modes and I'll think you're done. same thing for the snow on the bushes and leaves. and maybe som light snowfall would help sell the effect. day4night is the best. only thing i'd suggest there is to study real night footage and look att the contrast and noise in the dark areas. otherwise, well done mate!
@hempo22 Thanks Hampus! Other ppl spot it too: the smoke in nr1 was indeed a bit of a troublemaker. When i beefed up the opacity to 100% (in any blending mode) the edges looked to sharp, so i tuned it down - not noticing it became see-through.
A comment my teacher gave me was that the white snow was actually whiter than anything else in the shot; it was too white :p.
Thanks for your comment. And well, the pass-by-pass build-up makes them quite self-explanatory, don't they?
Basically you cut out the buildings from the background - either by keying the sky, or manually drawing masks - and then adding still or movie-elements - which will also require to be masked out.
Basically you're shuffeling layers of images on top of each other: like in photoshop, except now it's moving images...
does this work with sony vegas ?

Thanks for your reply, Loren!
The snow is actually handpainted in Photoshop:
I used a small brush and drew in small circles, to get that blobby-texture real snow usually makes.
For the snow on the bushes and trees I switched my brush to a more specled one, to give the impression some leaves cast a shadow on those under them.
Finally I added a blue-ish shadow on the lower ends to all the bits of snow.

de 2e matte painting vin ik erg geslaagd.
Bij je 1e matte zou ik die smoke nog wat beter integreren met de omgeving.
en je 3e matte zou het gehele ambiant light wat lichter mogen. verder, vet! Ben benieuwd naar je volgende vfx shots.
