"Photosim" Timelapse

Just !
I just spent 10 minutes of my life watching your video and pdf like a rabbit in the headlights...

Your plugins, your watercolors, your sketches and now this...
You're evil...

Awesome, Chris. How do you make the shadow selections for the plants?

Chris Fullmer

Thanks!

@Wyatt - Which shadows selections do you mean? I use the paintbrush to just paint in shadows under the plants edges.
Or I also did do a selection around the shadow for the large tree on the left. On that one, I tried a few things quickly and din't like them. So I just loosely outlined it with the lasso tool, then cut it out onto its own layer. Then I desaturated it to black, then I blurred it so the edges lost their hardness from the quick cutout job. Then played with the multiply and opacity for the layer until I was happy. That shadow worked better than I thought it would. When I started cutting it out I was concerned about how I would get it to look good. But it worked out.

I thought you had used a selection for the plants on the left around 4:10, but after watching again I see the brush palette open and that the selection was for the sidewalk. Thanks for posting this, and congrats on getting the job. It is always nice to think that the photosim might actually take precedence over engineering knowledge when it comes to winning work like this.

Videos please!

I have posted me playing the guitar twice to the Corner bar. The first:

Hi, Chris:
Congratulations on getting the commission. I am surprised that this presentation did not confuse the client. There is a lot of technical visual information flying about there It certainly showcases your huge talent, of which I have been in admiration since my first days of joining this forum.
Maybe you and I should jam sometime, although I only have a conceptual idea how two guitar players might collaborate while separated by about two time zones, a bunch of mountains, some desert and, perhaps, divergent styles, not to mention, plenty else to occupy our time.

To be clear, the video was never shown to the client - just the final images that are in the pdf file. WEe just show how to go from an old street, to get up to accessibility standards of sidewalks, and then how to also make it pretty when they get the funding - images 1 2 and 3 in the pdf.

The video was just for fun to show co-workers and friends what I do all day. I get to do 10 to 15 of these a year. I enjoy them all.
