First open up your video or footage on AFter effects

Then add some Effects

you should get something like this

now add a mask over the top section over the roof of the house

copy and past

the first layer mask to add

the second layer mask to subtract

get your sky background you want to use

make sure to set the top layer to mutiply

now to add the moon

screen it over the sky background you use

and there you go.

to make it look better try setting the saturation to -40

I think the moon would look most normal and coolest lower and far more towards the left of the frame. Cause even if you're going for a painted look (which I think is awesome too) it should still flow with the lighting in my opinion.

flipsidekrew,

Absolutely brilliant tutorial! I've paid money (sad to say) for tutorials by pros who haven't explained things as clearly and concisely as you have. Of course, you already know this, but I'll say it again -- you have real talent here.

Write lots more tutorials of this caliber-- many of us here can give you ideas/requests -- package them in a DVD or create them on an individual basis on your website and name your price. I'll buy the first one ... and the next one ... and then the one after that ...

Thanks for all the comments guys, I really appreciate it. Hopefully next time I can provide more tutorials, whenever I learn more stuff.
