Hi all,
I am currently working on a project that requires me to take some GV's of city and turn them into impressionistic paintings, rather like this:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/manchester/content/images/2007/12/06/spencer_coms_01_4...
I have managed to recreate this effect quite well in photoshop using a range of smart filters & masks (hue/sat, paint daubs etc)but now im wondering what the best way is to convert this in video;
Actually as im writing this ive just realised; I can import video straight into Photoshop now, and apply the filters across the moving footage - not just a still capture... hmmm... but then I wonder if you can apply smart filters to footage? Hmmm, ill do some tests...
Ok, so on to question 2:
How can I animate the transition betweeen the clean footage and the painted version?
Obviously i could do a straight dissolve, but that would be a bit dull, woould be nicer to animate the paint strokes somehow, but I need to find a relatively quick & easy way of doing this, maybe faking it with an animated mask? Or using a deform grid (or whatever there called) ost he paint layer appears to follow the countours of the buildings... hmmm?
Anyway advice welcome,
Thanks in advance,
N
