Turning day into night
I shot a skit in the woods at dusk, and I need to make the skit appear to be at night in the woods.
I still need to see my characters, but still make it as dark as possible.
I know there must be a work-around for this or an effect that will make this work.
This is my first post here at creative cow. Any ideas? -

Classic “day for night” in Hollywood movies was accomplished in-camera by:
1) stopping down two f-stops
2) shooting with a #15 blue filter
3) never shooting from a low angle that would reveal the sky (revealing the sky gives it away)You can simulate numbers 1 & 2 in post very easily.

There are a lot of third party filters available for FCP. Here is a free one.

I tried to send you to link to a tutorial at another forum, but the COW has a problem with them
so it wasn’t allowed to be posted. Google “Final Cut Pro day for night tutorial” and you’ll
find it.
