Snow Globe Effect

[Chuck Engels]

I saw this over at Photoshop Creative Elements/VioVio
http://www.viovio.com/photos/image/710380

It is just a graphic but could be a great idea for video, it could even have moving snow - Cool Idea!

Donna did one with moving snow:

If you follow the links to the Panos site there is one where you can get the snow tp fall within the globe...

Very nice, I had forgotten about that thread (moved it to the Showcase Forum too).

I still like the one at VioVio, very unique. I would like to see the snow falling inside the globe only

You can replace the photo with your own. My project for the weekend.

Yup, love the snow inside the globe. Not sure I like the photo frame though, that is what I like about the image at VioVio.
If anyone can do something amazing with that, you can Paul
I can already see one of those 3D images you do so well inside the globe !

Hi Paul, I hope you will share your results when you are done! I am going to try this effect also this weekend, I hope to add a video clip to it. Donna's sample lead me to the Panos site and what neat effects one can do! I am sure I will be seeking help! Kerrie

Here ya go: only took a couple of minutes. I exported it as high definition, I am using it in a Christmas project.
Here is the link to the gallery. The actual file itself is very good quality.

Now I need to see if I can change the frame.

My Charlie's Angels by the way... they think they are anyway... I wouldn't say angels!!!

Very nice, they sure look like angels

I think the 3D effect without the frame would be way cool !

Thanks Paul for sharing! Glad to hear it only took a few minutes.....so I may have some hope of accomplishing this effect in a timely manner! Kerrie

How did you do this... or better asked, are there files available to create this effect. I know I could put my picture over that picture... but wouldn't the snow then go behind my picture?

This is timely this time of year.

Regarding the Snowglobe with the photo of my daughters inside, I commented how they think they are my angels, but I wasn't so sure. And Chuck said "Very nice, they sure look like angels"

Well... I was doing a holiday video and my daughter got mad because I kept making her re do it. I captured some evidence with my camcorder... now what do you think???

That's so cool!

Please share your methods!

I used Adobe After Effects. Doesn't come out too well in .wmv format. In the original high definition it is clearer and you can see the detail in the face. I added a texture adjustment layer to give the face a cracked appearance.
