Photographing architecture can mean many things: capturing a dramatic space for a magazine spread, shooting a flattering view of a room for a real estate advertisement, or just taking photos of interesting structures that you encounter in your travels.

In each case, your goal is to make the building or room look its best through a combination of composition and lighting. You might also use props or do some furniture arranging to make a photo work better. And for exteriors, you might time your shot for a specific time of day to best capture the building's design.

In this course, photographer Richard Klein discusses the art and science of photographing architecture, from interiors to exteriors and from small houses to skyscrapers.

Title: Lynda – Final Cut Pro X Guru: Motion Graphics in Motion and After Effects

THis is the same one from the blog. It does not have project files because when I unrar and unzip the 52 gig archive all that was in it was about 500 megs of stuff and my torrent client would not let me torrent it. So I had to leave them out. Still got them if you want me to try and torrent them seperately.

Info: We’ve all seen the ads. “Looking for video editors. Experience with motion graphics and After Effects required. ” If you’re looking for a job as a video editor in today’s market, being able to produce professional-looking motion graphics is an absolute necessity. Luckily, motion design is something you can learn. Join Nick Harauz as he takes you through a variety of motion graphic workflows for Final Cut Pro X, Motion, and After Effects. It starts with the principles of good design: composition and color theory, inspiration and limitations. Nick then works through three chapters of timesaving, practical motion graphics techniques. Learn to create a lower third, animate a Photoshop file, and build dynamic backgrounds in Final Cut Pro. Discover how animate text, create moving 3D text, and build custom transitions in Motion. Then find out how to send FCP clips to After Effects and animate, light, and export your work. By the end of the training, editors will have a basic comprehension of motion graphic design techniques and the essentials for transitioning between these three powerhouse applications.

There's no reason to fall back on the same old 3-point lighting techniques for every shoot. Cinematic lighting, which takes its cue from film, can add drama and visual interest to any production. Using diffusion, small tweaks in color temp, bounced light, and other cinematic lighting tricks, you can achieve a much richer look and feel.

This series of tutorials, taught by producer, DP, and educator Jem Schofield of theC47, shows you the equipment and time-tested lighting techniques you need to get cinematic results. Filmed on location at a California brewery—a set with a lot of action and a lot of angles—the course takes you through the process of planning, lighting, and shooting video using largely cinematic (low-key) lighting techniques. Jem uses a conversational style of direction that relies on collaboration with the crew and the clients, but the lessons are flexible enough to apply to productions of many different types and sizes, including corporate video and documentaries. By the end, you'll have the skills you need to go out and create professional lighting setups in the real world.
Topics include:

Choosing the right video lighting equipment
Scouting locations with good light and visual interest
Bouncing light and blocking light
Cutting light
Diffusing light
Recreating natural light
Modifying color temperature with video lighting
Shooting B-roll, inserts, and cutaways
Working outdoors

In this course, we develop a thumb sketch for a character and based on that we will develop a character closeup shot to show certain character particulars.

This course introduces designers, photographers, and illustrators to the character concept process, being able to use familiar photo manipulation techniques to a new creative field. This course will show how to interpret a character brief, how to develop a thumb sketch to block the character look and feel, how to modify the main source image to transpose the look and feel of the character and, how to make the transition from a good character concept to a villain character - without using digital painting techniques. Required Software: Photoshop CC.

A tilt-shift lens is a specialized piece of gear that expands your creative options. With a tilt-shift lens,
you can fix distorted verticals in architectural photos, greatly expand depth of field,
and create special optical effects. You can simulate many of these things in post-processing,
but a tilt-shift lens lets you experiment in the field—and seeing the
results as you work can affect the way you shoot a scene. In this course,
photographer and educator Justin Reznick demonstrates how to use a tilt-shift lens
in a variety of shooting scenarios. He shows how to shift for perspective control and panoramas,
and tilt for "miniature" style photos and sharpness from front to back.
