Post-production Tree Silhouette

 In this post I am showing you how I developed my image of a tree into a silhouette, and how I layered it to make it seem fuller than it already is. To begin with, using the magic want tool and also the quick select, I cut out the majority of the background. I then added a black colour overlay, which made the tree a silhouette. From this I then began to duplicate the layers and place them over each other so that the tree looked larger, as originally it seemed a little small. I added four duplicate layers to build on the tree and my finished product is the last image on this post.

Decisions, Decisions, Decisions...

 I have came to the conclusion that I do not like the majority of my video footage, however I would like to stick with my original idea but re-film a couple scenes to make them less choppy and unprofessional. This re-filming should only take up a weekend, and with the co-operation of my actors I believe that I can get everything done in that short space of time.

digipak update

Here I
have added the image of my artist 'Nate Maxwell'

However there are still a couple things that i would like to change.

Digipak update

This is how my digipak look so far, as you can see there are two slots missing. One is for the track list and the other is for an image of the artist. I am currently in the middle of producing these images digitally.

Track list digipak

I have decided that i want my track list to look hand written, I have yet to decided if I am actually going to hand write it, or use a cursive font like the one on the left. I am going to write up & edit some drafts and then collect audience feedback on what one looks best.

Digipak - Original Images

For my digipak I have used 5 original images, four I created myself and scanned on to the computer and the other I took digitally and uploaded. I have used photoshop to digitally enhance my images and also to add texts, filters and blurs.

 This is a section I cut from a road map, as my album is called home I wanted to use liverpool as this is my home.

 I used a song book, and cut out a section of notes.

 I used water colours and bleach to create this wave.

I used water colours to mould the colours together.

This is a picture I have taken of my house.

Post Production

I have added the more recent filming to my edited video, it still needs editing a little more and there is more filming to come.
