Airi Pan 38-39 Foolproof Photobashing

 38 Lesson 6 - Foolproof Photobashing Part 6 - Recap

P38 - 00:01复盘。 

 In this module, we basically did zero lecture and all purely demonstration, because we've come to the point where essentially everything that we've learned so far is now applicable. 

P38 - 00:15目前学到实操性的。  

And everything else is literally just an iteration of what we've learned so far. 

P38 - 00:20每次学习都是迭代前面的。  

So for example, we started off with our piece starting from the base that we had on our previous model, 

P38 - 00:28比如我们从最初的中性光开始。  

and we made it understandable using depth and atmosphere by applying the appropriate black and white values. 

P38 - 00:35加入景深 大气 黑白图。 

We separated out the foreground from the middle ground, from the background. 

P38 - 00:40分辨前景 中景 背景。 

Everything that is far away. We made it lighter. Everything that was very close, we made it darker. 

P38 - 00:46远处的浅色，近处的深色。 

And that little fact alone made it feel as if our peace had depth as if it had atmosphere. 

P38 - 00:53都有景深和氛围。 

That's what makes it have the quality of you being able to reach into the screen and feel like you're almost there. 

P38 - 01:01身临其境的感觉。 

After that we'll look at different movie screen shots on how we can colorize our piece to look like it came from the scene of a movie. 

P38 - 01:11如何上色像是影视剧场。 

Then using multiply layers, we were able to achieve a very similar color palette。 

P38 - 01:16用多重层染不同色。 

and went in with tweaks and adjustments, some coloring here and there and going on and so forth. 

P38 - 01:23来回来去的调整。 

Every single time, we pretty much use the lighten layer, the darken layer, some form of paint over layer on Top. 

P38 - 01:33锃亮 暗黑 喷涂。 

And then a variety of layers such as overlay, soft light, colored dodge. 

P38 - 01:38重叠 柔光 减淡。 

Next we tackled a completely different color scheme, snow in sunset time this time, and now it is completely pink. 

P38 - 01:48然后我们模拟了夕阳西下的粉色。 

We did the exact same method as we did in our previous green whitish snow piece where we colored our snow using the multiply layer, as well as colored our darks. 

P38 - 01:59多重层 阴影 雪景。 

This time. However, one key difference is that we took a completely new a different sky and replace the sky with it. 

P38 - 02:07用纯色来替代原来的天空。 

And then we also use that same sky to make a reflection on the water. 

P38 - 02:13天空垂直翻转式水中倒影。 

But everything else is pretty much the same thing that happened with the previous pieces. 

P38 - 02:15和之前作品一个套路。 

We did lighten, we did darken. We used multiply layers, we use overlay, we use soft light, a whole bunch of clipping masks and just a smidgen of paint over on the Top at the very end. 

P38 - 02:31剪贴模板 最后喷涂。 

And we look at it and it's finished piece. It looks very similar to our original reference image.  

P38 - 02:37高仿参考图。 

So now we take it to the next level, the final level, where now we completely turn the piece on its head and do a nighttime scene. 

P38 - 02:46做午夜的高仿。 

Again, we start with a reference image. And again, as previously, we color our snow into a light, except this time we color the snow light, which is going to be an orange color. 

P38 - 03:00给雪涂上橘黄色暖灯色。 

And then we color the snow dark into its dark blue color. But we completely wash over the snow with that dark blue, 

P38 - 03:09用深蓝夜色渲染了。 

because now pretty much the entire piece is in shadow and only a certain select few areas are really in light. 

P38 - 03:16选中灯光区不是深蓝的。 

And now we cannot use our previous black and white colors that we did for the other two pieces because the light source has completely changed. 

P38 - 03:26光源变了，黑白图也跟着变。 

Rather than coming from the sun. Our light source now comes from windows. 

P38 - 03:30人造光源来自于窗户。 

So we have to adjust accordingly by making our house, which is the source of the light, this time, extremely bright, and the rest of the snow extremely dark. 

P38 - 03:40不被光打到的雪是暗色的。 

We also did a flip where instead of having a focal point be little red riding hood, our focal point is now the house because of the fact that the windows there offers such a strong contrast.  

P38 - 03:52因为窗户光有光影对比，聚焦点。 

Because the brightest thing on the entire canvas. So if you look at it, your eye goes straight to the house. This is a very key, important concept. 

P38 - 04:00房子灯光博人眼球。 

Whatever you do in your piece, you should ask yourself what your focal point really is. And try to draw the viewers eye to that specific focal point. 

P38 - 04:11问自己博人眼球点在哪里。 

You can have multiple focal points, but one focal point should be the absolute stinger, the one that everyone should be looking at, the main one that we see first. So in our white greenish concept piece, the focal point was a little red. 

P38 - 04:26最终聚焦点还是小红帽。 

And in our sunset peak concept piece. The focal point was still little red. But in our night time scene, the focal point has now changed to our house and not little red anymore. Another key aspect is that when you turn the piece into black and white, you'll notice that it's still very clear and understandable. 

P38 - 04:44黑白图应该是一目了然的。 

This is the telltale sign of a good piece. If you turn your piece into black and white and you're not able to really see what the different layers are, you can't really tell the atmosphere. You can't tell what's foreground, mid ground and background. Something is wrong. You should probably go back in and do a little bit adjustments, 

P38 - 05:01黑白构图是检验的金标准。 

because a good piece will always be very understandable in black and white as well. Now you have three completely different pieces. They are all high quality, high fidelity and very accurate because we used, first of all reference images. We did not just pull these completely from imagination, though we did do some adjustments at the very end to make the piece our own. 

P38 - 05:26高质量 高饱和度 高仿再创新。 

And these pieces completely thrive on their own, even though they are sister pieces because they're all the same thing. They can be completely separate from each other because they show completely different times a day, with different types of shadows, with different light sources at different focal points.  

P38 - 05:42不同阴影 不同时间点 和光源。  

You saw firsthand just how simple it is to be able to change your neutral lighting piece from one color to the next to the next to the next. In fact, knowing that I did, it's really just now in front of your eyes means that there is an absolute world of possibility out there. There's all kinds of different times of day to try and experiments to be made. So it's your turn. Let's let's the next video and discuss how we can practice some more. 

39 Lesson 6 - Foolproof Photobashing Part 7 - Practice & Improvement P39 - 00:00 

 Your assignment, just like this video, is going to be short and sweet. You're going to take the previous photo stitch piece that you did in a module five. And then I just simply want three or more iterations. 

P39 - 00:17中性光基础做三五个迭代。 

Just like you saw in this module. I do recommend that you use the original stitch that you did, simply because it will save you time. However, if you're feeling up to the Challenge and want to do more than one stitch or use a completely new stage, go for it. I am all about trying one's best and challenging oneself, though. 

P39 - 00:36挑战自己。 

At the bare minimum, I do want at least three different iterations with three very distinct times a day. 

P39 - 00:44三个不同的时间段。 

Additionally, one of them should be of an artificial light source, or vice versa. At least one of them should be of a natural light source. 

P39 - 00:55有中性光 有人造光 太阳光。 

Essentially, I don't want all of your life sources to be at the same place that will get you to a total of at least three deliverable. Why you’re doing these, I do want you to. To realize that the first few are going to be a bit challenging.  

P39 - 01:05第一次做可能有点挑战。 

But with each one that you do for get easier and easier and easier, if you ever feel confused, if you're ever feeling lost, feel Free to go back into the videos and watch them over and over. 

P39 - 01:15困惑了回头来反复看。 

That's the entire reason why they record it for you. Additionally, I also have all of these PSD files on hand for you to download at any moment. Feel Free to go in and see how I organize my layers. 

P39 - 01:28看我如何组织我的图层的。 

Sometimes you just need to see some of those things to be able to understand how you can do it yourself. Because with photo bashing, it is a very technology heavy process. Therefore, feel Free to use the PSD files that are already finished and pick them apart and see how I assembled them so that it may help you to assemble your own. 

P39 - 01:48自己重新排列组合。 

This is where all the fun stuff really starts being able to easily do different times of day. There is nothing more rewarding than that. So above all, don't forget have fun. Enjoy yourself. I'll see you soon
