Seasons Change

The project was to change 3 seasons to 3 different seasons using only the program Nuke. This was a very hard assignment for me because I had never heard of the program, and to resist the temptation to just drag the photo into photoshop was unreal! But I put myself to the test, and put in the extra hours, and am very pleased with the results. Because of my hard work, I have a better understanding for Nuke.

The Results.

Challenge: The challenge here was to create snow by bringing up the white levels, but avoid loosing the background.

Challenge: The challenge here was to pull color from a scene that only had a few colors to choose from, so I wanted to turn some leaves orange, to mimic the beginning of fall, but I didn't want all of the leaves to turn orange! I do like how the floor looks as if the orange leaves fell. ^.^

Challenge: I enjoyed pulling color from a colorless scene so much that I decided to do it again. =D This was a challenge however, because I didn't want my blue sky to turn green while I was attempting to give the snow on the ground a green grass look. I am still overall unhappy with this picture because there are hot spots, but I am still gonna give myself the credit, after all, this was my first week using Nuke =P
