and hom to make the road being snowed? just using color correction or what?

Hellol Gerak,

I think I understand your question. On that painting the snow was painted from scratch, and the tree was rebuilt with some images of mine. I kept as much of the tree as I could from the original plate and then added in the new branches. Hope I answered your questions.

Hey James,

I usually paint at 4k.

Wow, those are some killer samples. Thanks for posting them.

I haven't seen that many modern matte plates in a while and it's good to see the "put the greenscreen only where you need it" technique put to good use. How was your experience in pulling mattes from those areas? Would you have done anything different for the plates if you could?

[gerakvisual]

thanks brandon..
once again, ur great !:thumbsup:

[bkachel]

I thought the plates were set up great for painting. I'm not to sure what the compositers thought, because in the end they are the ones pulling the keys. It's easy enough to do it in photoshop.

again, very impressive works Brandon; thanks for sharing! :)

[berniebernie]

[Argopo]
