I'm finally back! I'll put up some bits of my already-finished pre-lim boards, but until then, here's a space background that could potentially be part of the high-five realm. I made it from scratch with the help of the internet and Photoshop. Problem is, I had so much trouble inserting distant stars in Photoshop (my adjustment levels won't cooperate) and when I exported it to a JPG, a lot of the stars disappeared. You can see some very faint distant stars, but I can't make them more prominent at the moment... So, it doesn't look quite authentic just yet.
Here's a screencap from photoshop in order to show you what it's supposed to look like.
There's a lot more varying brightness in the stars, so it has much more of an outer-space aesthetic. Since it's only a screencap though, the quality's not good enough to use in the final film.
Anyway, I'll work on that. More to come!
It's weird that the stars would disappear. Maybe you should try saving it as a PNG instead.
ReplyDeleteI like the colors you chose. Would things be moving if you were to use this as a background? Like asteroids flying by?
I tried just about every format and there was always some problem. PNG has the same results as JPG; the second space picture is a TIFF, which I can't post on the blog.
ReplyDeleteI know After Effects can handle Tiffs, as well as Photoshop files.
ReplyDeleteThe screencap looks pretty good for a screencap, though.
I also just remembered that the Aftereffects on SCA's computers has a good "Nightsky" setting, so worse comes to worse, I can use that to emulate distant stars, and put the clouds over it.
