Video Tutorial - Fake Tilt Shift

I have made a video tutorial!  For me this is tromendously exciting.  For you, less so perhaps.

Anyway I would love it if you could have a look and let me know what you think, give me some constructive feedback (I know that I sound like a bell end so there’s no need to point that out) then that’d be super awesome.

I picked a nice easy technique to make a tutorial about to start with - faking tilt shift using Photoshop.

Video Tutorial - Fake Tilt Shift (Quicktime MOV - 1024×768 - 92mb)

Things I have noted that I need to work on in the future include:

  • I don’t actually explain what Depth of Field is, I just sort of assume that people will know what I’m talking about - this is probably bad.
  • When explaining what tilt shift is via the wonder of wikipedia, I click on a link that I’m looking at for the first time during the tutorial - it’s pretty obvious that that’s what I’m doing, I think, and I sort of pause and stumble a bit when I’m doing it.  This also is probably bad.
  • The cursor doesn’t show up very well in Photoshop when I’m trying to explain things by motioning with it - could probably do something about that.
  • The sound clips nastily a few times - need to run a limiter and normalize!
