Vid commentary: spot color effect in Skin

[chasarumba]

This isn't a full commentary on the vid -- this is just a description of how the spot colorization effect (Vesper's red dress in the ending sequence, roughly 3:07-3:16) was achieved in After Effects.

The vid: Skin (James Bond/Casino Royale)

Ooh, thank you ! I have to say I didn't understand about half of what you're saying here, mainly because I haven't opened up AE in my life, but I'm definitely saving this to my memories so I can refer back later. Thanks for the write-up!

You're welcome and I hope it's useful to you at some point in the future! AE is a big help with certain tasks.

Wow. This is so far beyond my ken as to seem like sorcery. Still, it's an interesting read.

[chasarumba]

Glad it was interesting :) My working knowledge of After Effects is still pretty limited, so a lot of it is beyond me as well.

Sorry for being so late to say this, but I love reading you describe your workflow. There's always something I can learn, and here's to hoping it will inspire me to get off my lazy arse and use AE more often. I'd love for you to keep it up in future.

Hey, thank you -- I'm glad it's of some use to you!

I hear you. I really need to pull out my tutorial books and tackle some new topics...but instead, I nap ;)
