TUNNELS
HI ALL, SCARLET HERE...
BRINGING YOU A NEW WAY TO DO "F/X VIGNETTE"
THIS IS A SIMPLE TECHNIQUE YET WITH ALOT OF CHOICES AND VERY EFFECTIVE
READY? HERE WE GO....
THE WHOLE IDEA IS TO MAKE YOUR VIGNETTE "DISAPPEAR" HALFWAY, IN EITHER DIRECTION, SO AS TO HAVE THE "CAMEO" LOOK GONE BUT SOMETHING MORE
EXTREME
SKELETAL FORMULA
GO TO "F/X"
MAKE YOUR "VIGNETTE"
(make it large enough so that it covers your matte almost to to the top and bottom
**VERY IMPORTANT PART:
IF IT DOES NOT REACH TOP/BOTTOM, THEN USE "TRANSFORM" TO SHAVE OFF JUST ENOUGH OF TOP/BOTTOM TO TOUCH "VIGNETTE" RING
-PARAMETER= 30X100
(this is variable, the first number being the amount you want it either blurred or a more hardened edge look)
-AT THE BOTTOM OF THE EFFECTS PUT IN WHAT BACKGROUND COLOR YOU WANT AROUND YOUR IMAGE AND "VIGNETTE"
(I used SILVER)
-MAKE YOUR VIGNETTE
-GO TO DECORATE
- MAKE A BORDER AT THE TOP AND BOTTOM, ANY SIZE,
***HOWEVER, IT HAS TO BE DIFFERENT THAN THE COLOR YOU USED FOR YOUR "VIGNETTE" BACKGROUND
-GO TO PAINT
CHOOSE "COLOR" , FLOODFILL= 1000, PUT CHOICE OF COLOR IN PARAMETER BOX
(again, it cannot be the same as matte background for "Vignette" but it can be the same as your border you made in DECORATE
(IE. my border that I made is black and I also painted left side black)
CHOOSE A SIDE
CLICK, POINT AND PAINT THAT SIDE
(by having the border at the top this separates both sides of the background matte and you can fill this in with FLOODFILL either side)
-FINISH AS YOU WOULD LIKE WITH "ENHANCE" , "DECORATE", ETC.
ORIGINAL GRAPHIC
"RENAISSANCE MAN"
**NOTE: I USED BLACK FOR THE TOP/BOTTOM BORDERS. THEN, SO THAT THEY WOULD SHOW UP , I ALSO ADDED A SMALL SILVER BORDER= 3 PIXELS ON TOP/BOTTOM. HOWEVER, THE TOP/ BOTTOM BORDER DOES NOT NECESSARILY HAVE TO SHOW UP.
IE. IF YOU USED BLACK FOR "DECORATE"
YOU WILL STILL GET YOUR "TUNNEL" EFFECT.
ORIGINAL
INPUT TO IMAGE MAGICK
F/X VIGNETTE = 30X110
BACKGROUND COLOR=PURPLE
**the VIGNETTE still did not reach the top/bottom so I went to
TRANSFORM/SHAVE= 0X20
DECORATE BORDER PURPLE=50X0
I wanted more of a border on the sides so I added this
DECORATE BORDER CRIMSON= 30X0
PAINT FLOODFILL 1000 BLACK ON PURPLE INNER RING
SAME WITH PURPLE RIGHT HAND SIDE BORDER
SAME WITH CRIMSON RIGHT HAND SIDE BORDER
DECORATE BORDER 0X20 BLACK
DECORATE BORDER GRAY28 0X5
ENHANCE BRIGHT=120
ANNOTATE, OUTPUT QUALITY@25
ELECTRONIC EMBRYO
USE ANY COMBINATION OF COLORS,,,FOR BACKGROUND AND FOR BORDER. YOU CAN HAVE SOME REALLY EXCITING AND UNIQUE "VIGNETTES" THAT DON'T LOOK LIKE "VIGNETTES" AT ALL
