Effects Sandbox Assignment: Tutorial, Directions

Here are the complete directions for your special effects assignment. Please complete by end of block.
Points: 10 pts. per effect. You MUST do TWO. You may do another for extra credit.

Effects Sandbox Assignment Model

You need to post TWO SEPARATE posts today like the one here. Label your posts "special_effects."

Do the following:

  1. Give directions about how to find the effect (what is it called? What FOLDER is it in?)
  2. Explain how to change the settings to get the effect you're showing.
  3. Give us an idea about how you might use it in a film.

Sample:

For the effect below, you choose “Emboss” in the “Stylize” folder.
You want to adjust the Relief between 1.50 and 2.0, set the contrast between 50 and 70, and make sure there is 0 Blend. Changing the Direction only decides which part of the clip will show the embossing most strongly.

You might use this in a fantasy about someone turning to stone. You could also use it to simulate statues coming to life.
