Ambient Light & Slideshow
Posted on 14. Apr, 2007 by Jerzy Drozda Jr in After Effects
See how to recreate something, that one of TV producers has indroduced in his FlatScreen TV Sets. You will also learn how to create a slideshow.

Some TV sets now come with very cool feature of creating an ambient light around the screen that matches the color of whatever is on the screen. I thought this is pretty cool thing to do, and i tried to recreate this effect in after effects. In this tutorial we will simulate a FlatScreen TV hanging on the wall with ambient light option turned on.
You will also learn how to create slideshows fast, and how to use this ambient light technique to alter your slideshows background color to match photos used in the slideshow. No expressions, no scripts. Pure build-in effects.
This is very easy to achieve, and it will increase the quality of your slideshow, and visualizations.

How can you say that nothing’s going on on the footage? :-) Man, I play in this movie, and it is as interesting as the tutorial itself.

It should be working now. Like I’ve explained in my last post (I’m baaack!) I’m in the middle of moving the site to another server so temporary problems may occur. Sorry for the inconvenience.
