Blending it all together

Blending:

To blend the shots together you are going to add what is called an Adjustment Layer. An adjustment layer effects all the layers below it.

1. Layer > New > Adjustment Layer

Then you are going to apply a photo filter effect to the adjustment layer (like an instagram filter but not as extreme).

2. Effect > Color Correction > Photo Filter

3. Choose the look of the filter that you want to use and then adjust the amount. Doing this gives a color cast to all the different elements in the composition and blend them together visually.

Motion Blur:

Things blur when they move fast. Adding some motion blur to the light sabers really helps the shot.

4. Click the motion blur buttons on the saber layers as well as turn on motion blur in the timeline.

Render your shot

Import the shot into Final Cut, then import the sounds from the Obiwan Folder and add them to the video. Begin with a title and end with credits.

Share > Master File and post this finished shot on your website.
