How to make daytime scene look like night?

[life4eva]

I a putting together some footage I did and some was shot during the day by a pool and others at night. They are not mixing very well together so I would like to know how you can make the day time scenes look like night?


I know there must be someone out there who knows how to do this, and make it look good


thanks

To edit day-for-night footage, reduce the exposure and add a blue tint to everything.

Mainly reduce the mids and the blacks. You still need to see.

Avoid shooting the sky.

Have you given this a try? http://www.riverrockstudios.com/riverrock/pages/FCP.html

I've only used it to simulate night vision scopes, but it might work for you.

AMAZING!!!!

That is an awesome plugin that worked!

I felt it was a little to blue but I just duplicated the clip with an original and then one with the filter. I put the original on top and the filtered version on bottom and set the opacity to the unfiltered version at 40% and the bottom filtered version blended beautifully


THANKS!

Avoid shooting the sky.

Or just make sure it's overcast.
