Haha, agreed. Seems like when everyone had no choice but to shoot on crappy cameras, HD imagery was what everyone dreamed of. Now, with everyone having great DSLRs in their hands, the more people are wanting to create Lo-Fi imagery. Go figure.

It’s funny, while he was describing every element of Lomo photography, I was thinking that is something I work hard to NOT get in my photos. There might be a time in my career though that I’ll switch 180 and do this in ever single photo just because I can!

Hey Antoine, I apologize, I figure every mac user is probably sick of hearing the “for Mac users press…” line. So I just assume everyone knows to swap CMD for CTRL and OPT for ALT. But, maybe it’s something I should add back into the videos? Dunno, I feel like its a lot more wordiness. What do you guys think, is it kinda just common knowledge or does it help to actually state the Mac shortcut?

I don’t actually work in FCP, I am primarily a still shooter. My only video work is really just our tutorials and BTS videos which I edit in Premiere.

More I think about more I think you are right Pratik. I had another person mention the same thing. While intending on trying to keep it simple, I think I may be teaching a bad technique. I can imagine a lot of people never really learning the appropriate technique because they may not choose any form of formal education on the subject. So, you are right. From here on out I will be sure to merge-to-active-visible for any multi-layer Photoshop techniques.

Thanks for the suggestion amigo.

Very cool video Mate! I really like the number of details you put in your tutorial! I’d like a small notice for Mac users (command+shift+i for example)… And thank you for not putting annoying music :)

Do you work with Final Cut Pro? Tutorials on this would be awesome!

Cheers

As Flight of the Conchords would say, “why, why? Be more constructive with your feedback, please.”

Guess I know who is voting the video down, gotta love the interweb h8ters =)

Many people are already well aware of being able to get this effect, however to many who may not know, these tutorials should also be welcomed. Don’t discourage sharing of information that may help.
