Twilight Promo..

Got a new promo from Stephanie to work on, this actually wasn't very hard at all to make, just thought it would look cool, and it came out pretty good.

The idea came from the old gin and juice music video, remember when snoop dog was smoking that blunt then in the smoke dr dre appeared.. same concept.

I had this cool smoke video that pretty much comes on as you see it on the promo, i did have to remap the time so that the smoke fills up the screen in the right amount of time, plus the original footage was too fast and very distracting, so doing this also slowed down the footage to a less obnoxious pace.

In order for me to achieve the effect I put the images behind the smoke, blended them into the smoke footage, but the problem i was getting was that anything that was below the smoke was staying in a greyscale mode, so to remedy that, I duplicated each layer i wanted to pop more and put them on top of the smoke, and transitioned them in.

So you'll see the smoke clips the image and reveals only the parts covered in the smoke, and once the smoke spreads through most of the scene I fade in the upper images in to bring out the headline and photo color.. so now that you know.. notice that the twilight logo starts to glow, and the Edward/Bella pic colorizes and the treehouse of horror logo zaps into red.



Ahh.. tv magic.
