Road Closed Ahead

Knowing that the road ahead was covered in deep snow, Willis had to try and stop the cars and save the town's people...

I want to thank all of you for all the wonderful notes and emails you sent me over the last few weeks. I was very touched by your kind thoughts. I won't be back full time for a short while but I'll be snooping around cause I do miss you all... Willis


Caution Tech Corner:

Our first big snow storm today. After my 3rd shoveling for the day this idea came to me. 2 background plates were shot outside in the snow. the very background and a foreground plate. The cars were shot on some black velvet on my shooting table and then added in Photoshop using the screen mode. To keep them solid I painted black behind the cars. Using a white sheet and a 10 second timer it shot myself. In Photoshop, using the magnetic lasso tool I created a matte to remove me from the white sheet background. From there its placing the pieces and cleaning up the layers so it all goes together. Enjoy...
