Compositing at Monday, August 17, 2009

Here's an example of compositing done in Adobe Photoshop. One of the most important things to remember when doing this is lighting. Everything has to blend together in a way where it looks like one picture. Another trick is to clone your background around your object. In this case, I put some bush in front of the characters, giving the illusion that they're actually there. The helicopters are blurred out to add more realism regarding the focusing of a camera lens and the grass is actually burnt where the fire is. Compositing is a lot of fun and you can apply these techniques to any design.
