Storm pulling over…

[Patrick Adkins]

Sky Replacement. You’ll need footage of storm clouds to composite into your stadium footage (or whatever footage you have). You can shoot storm clouds rolling in or there are various stock footage sites that will have cloud footage. There is a DVD of Real Cloud stock footage on VideoCopilot.net.

Andrew also has a couple tutorials on his site that explain sky replacement:

You can add shadows as the clouds come over. If you want quick and easy, you can use black solid, opacity control, masks, etc. Or you can get technical and use masks and curves/brightness controls on the original footage which would look more realistic.

I’ve got some clips of stormy clouds and some footage. But I want to replace to the sky like it’s first is beautiful weather, and then the stormy clouds are rolling on top of the sky, so you can see it change.
