Hi Everyone



Yes, that crazy moron in the picture is me. Not only am I showing you who I am, I am also demonstrating some insanely simple (but effective) visual techniques that really add to a picture or video. I color corrected the crap out of this photo to make it darker and enhance the shadows, and drew that face in with Adobe Photoshop. Doing these things used techniques that are perfect for creating atmosphere in horror movies.
Correcting shadows and adding slight grain to video footage makes any scene look a whole lot better, and will definitely build tension during 'scary' scenes.

If you are using Adobe After Effects, then the Curves effect is all you really need in order to drastically change the lighting and coloring in footage.

In Adobe Premiere Pro, you can utilize RGB Curves or RGB Color Corrector, either one is fine.
