    Posted by Sheena Quintyne on June 22, 2011 at 5:28 pm

    So, rite now I’m working on a video, where the client wants a day that was shot on a sunny day turn into a rainy day. Im having a really hard time with this, being that there’s sunlight casted on the 2 actors, its outside with trees, so a clean mask of the sky is close to impossible, and even if i do find the right tutorial, the actors’ hair and clothes wont look or get wet. But I’ll still take the tutorial if I can find it. I’m only finding videos of people who have successfully executed the tutorial, like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d6Xkov3Wsxs but no how to’s.

    Plz help

    Thx

    I can’t see the example you’ve posted due to restrictions on the network where I work but for sky replacement you could look at this [link].

    I’ll check out the link, thanks! The link I posted was someone who was able to take boats at a dock on a sunny day and successfully made the same footage look bleak and rainy.

    You could ask the video’s creator for his technique.

    You aren’t going to get the actors hair wet or anything. If you want that, reshoot and get a sprinkler.

    @ Dave I did get some helpful tips from the previous posters, so I’m definitely looking forward to utilizing those. Also, in the event that I didn’t make this point clear, I did not shoot this footage. Therefore, I do not use post as a crutch. Had I shot it, trust I would’ve executed it a little better and with a lot more thought.

    Thx
