Photoshop Time-Lapse Snow Scene

By John Potter

Before After

Foreign Trade Zone Corporation of Mobile, Alabama recently approached me with a project. There was a need for a holiday card photo of their offices. They wanted a snowy scene at night. Unfortunately, the only images available to them were during the day and without snow (since it doesn’t snow in Mobile). The photos were great and the basis of the project.

This was a great project for me. It was a great opportunity to do something really cool (no pun intended) in Photoshop. I decided to record the project in on going screen capture and made a time-lapse video of the process from it. I did have one crash that resulted in some of the work not being included in the video, but most is. The video represents about five hours of work compressed down to about six minutes. I hope you enjoy it.

The video is available below from Vimeo and my server and it is also available from Youtube. If you like the time lapse format, you may also be interested in my “Adobe Illustrator Time-Lapse Video

Escape Key Graphics For Your Illustration And Design Needs

By John Potter

in my Illustration Portfolio

If you didn’t already know…Escape Key Graphics is me; John Potter, an artist, illustrator and graphic designer living in south Florida. Some years ago I began freelancing under the name of Escape Key Graphics and what started out as my online portfolio has evolved into more of a blog/portfolio. I am still available for hire and can produce artwork like you see on this site at your request. So….on to the reasons you should choose me for your design and illustration resource.

  • Quality:
    I strive to exceed the expectations of my clients. My goal is to deliver something you could not have even imagined at the outset. I want to see my clients beam with pride and I have time and again. Have a look at my Illustration and Graphic Design portfolios. They speak for themselves.

  • Integrity:
    I produced all of the artwork on this site. Unless CLEARLY stated otherwise I created everything you see here. Having original, unique work represent you lends you high credibility and elevates you above your competition. In today’s litigious business climate it’s essential to hire someone who creates original work for the protection of your business. Have a look at my Illustration and Graphic Design portfolios.

  • Experience:
    Nostalgia aside, we can learn from the past and I have over twenty years of experience in the field. For instance, I know what dodge and burn in Photoshop does because I have done it in a real darkroom. I’ve also seen fads come and go. I’ve seen many ideas fade into obscurity while others took off and I learned from all of them.

  • Straightforwardness:
    I wont try to dazzle you with techno babble or insider lingo. Good quality work speaks for itself and if it doesn’t, then it’s probably not good quality work.
