SHOOTING INSTRUCTIONS:
PHOTOSHOP INSTRUCTIONS:
- We are going to use a tool called "Quick Selection" to select our moving subject.
- The Quick Selection tool is located in the tool bar on the left-hand side of your workspace. It is the 4th tool down and looks like a paint brush with a circle of dotted lines around the tip. - Click the Quick Selection tool to activate it. |
A Motion Blur box will appear.
- First, make sure the angle of blur is appropriate for the direction of your subjects movement. -For example, an angle of 0 degrees would be appropriate for someone running across the frame, while an angle of 90 degrees would be appropriate for someone jumping up and down. - The use the bottom slider to adjust the "distance" of the blur. The more distance you add, the more dramatic your blur will be. Also, the more distance you add, the faster your subject appears to be moving. - Click OK when done. |
