Hello- i just finished shooting my first short and all the scenes have beautiful blue skies except for one. The one that is missing it, really needs it. It looks awful!!It's a comedy, and the sky is completely white. (it just rained)Everything is exposed properly, but the white sky looks so fake.The cut will work without it, but i feel it would work better with a bright blue sky in the background. Is there any way to add this?? I have avid dv 3.5 and adobe premier.Any info would be greatly appreciated.Thanks matt

I wish I had an easy answer for you, like choose the ?ADD BLUE SKY? option under ?TOOLS? in Adobe Premiere. With luck you can use a matte, otherwise purchase a good wrist brace, as you will have to rotoscope every frame in the sequence. Color correction might be an option, but you run the risk of distorting everything and the look might be too fake compared to other footage. The easiest thing of course is to re-shoot the scene. Good luck.
ive already reshot the scene twice . I cant go back again. It's on a golf course in CAmillus Ny and we only had it for a certain ammount of time.i am willing to go frame by frame(the scene is a minute 18, so that's OMG over 2000 frames... but is this my only option? What about avid's color correction? I just ordered it, but I know nothing about it. Thanks -matt

Has anyone heard off Adobe After Effects on this forum? A lot of the problems which people seem to be having here can be corrected using this fantastic program.
For your Blue Sky problem why don't you go out and shoot some blue sky and then insert it into the footage using After Effects. It won't be easy... and it won't be quick... but it'll get the job done.

If you're really lucky and the sky is always brighter than the rest of the frame, you may be able to turn the white sky in that footage into a luminance matte and have it automatically matte out the foreground so you can superimpose blue sky in its place. I think Premiere can use a still for a luminance matte, but I'm not sure whether it can use video.
