vfx: Night exterior



This is the first exterior that I'm pretty happy with. This represents Ben's workshop at night. I pass this house every day when I drop Sean off at school. I don't know if it's a house, a room or a garage, but it appears to be just one big cube. I finally took a picture of it this afternoon and fortunately from this view, there were no shadows. I found that doing these day-for-night shots works a lot better if there are no shadows (see bad test version below). The night sky is from morguefile and comes from Hawaii. I had to composite the telephone pole in to make the scene seem a little more realistic. To get the day-for-night effect I just used the photo filter.
