I'm sure they can, at least by the description he gives on the site. Color grading, levels & curves, etc. AE would make that cake.
 
I think a lot of it might come down to how many layers and masks he is using on individual portions of the image. Imagine having to rotoscope tons of layers for even a 2 minute short... Wow.

Still, he is amazing with his photography and I'm impressed not just by the look, but also his composition.

Besides, who cares? Being a Photoshop whiz is highly commendable in and of itself...

Take the 4th picture down for example; The night shot of the guy holding the gun. Now, I highly doubt the 3 bright spotlights in the original picture gleam quite like that. And with 3 bright lights facing the lens/us the audience, I'll almost guarantee that in the original shot, you wouldn't see any stars to speak of.

But who gives a frig??? That picture is gorgeous...

Great job man! Looking forward to seeing your video work when the camera arrives!
Are your parents artists as well? You really have a great eye.
 
Thanks to everyone donating for the video, I didn't know people would have an interest here. :-)

Can these techniques be applied to DV ? Have you tried them on motion video ?

Although this tutorial is meant for still, most of the effects can be applied. I have done some experiments myself, please view this movie here I have created. It was shot with a very standard $300 home camera.

I can tell you the gleams are present in the original picture, but yes you are correct the stars are not. That specific exposure is 8 seconds long, giving the solar effect on all lights facing the lens. The ones on the bridge are from a car driving by, and stopping in the road, then continuing. I agree with you though, it is the end result that counts. ;-)
 
Simply gorgeous. I would have donated the money simply to see what you could do with the DVX.

Note: In no way does that mean that I don't want the DVD. :grin:
 
They only come along every so often....

Joey Lawrence is.... The Chosen One.

Seriously, your work is great. You have such a seasoned eye and a wide open future.

We will no doubt see more of you.
