    How to Turn Humdrum Photos into Cinematic Portraits – Screencast

    Gavin Steele on Apr 27th 2009 with 13 comments

    “There are a plethora of ways to treat a portrait for a myriad of uses, but that is for another feature. Let’s tackle adding drama or a cinematic quality to a regular, humdrum portrait. Let’s even throw in a little bit of faking HDR. That way if you work on a project that requires a stunning shot without the stunning photography, you’ll be able to cobble something together using your mad skillz!” – James Davies

    Here is a link to the written version of the tutorial How to Turn Humdrum Photos into Cinematic Portraits and the video version is below.

      Horrible!!!!!

      I have downloaded the video. It took me about 4 hours to download the video. But somehow it was corrupted. I can’t figure out why. It is a 58 min long video but after 10 min it stops. I am a regular visitor of tuts network. I seldom find these kind of problem. Last time I found on a wordpress video at theme forest. Can you please please upload videos after through checking. In my country (Bangladesh) it is hard to find these videos. Our net connection is slow and we have to wait for a long time. So we hope you will look into this. Lastly I thank you all for contributing such wonderful tutorials. These are very useful for self learners.

      It is amazing how much you can learn from one tutorial.
      But that’s pretty much because you went through so much details.
      This opens your eyes to many other possibilities, definitely increases one’s general skills.

      Thank you so much!
