Cloud Maps for Sky Replacement

‍

‍

We have been using our Complete Clouds Pack to change the mood of landscape shots to better fit the story we want to tell.

You’re never able to control the look of clouds while you’re on set.
Even when you have beautiful clouds in your environment, if they don’t fit the mood of your film, you’ll still have to resort to sky-replacement.

I believe it’s a skill-set all Visual Effects artists and Cinematographers should have and for that reason I’ve made this tutorial above.

Personally, I love cloud-spotting.
For that reason I have built out the Complete Clouds Pack to feature different types of clouds for any type of situation.

Whether you are doing sky-replacement for your cinematography, or whether you want to emphasise your 3D renders or concept art — Cloud Maps are the Swiss army knife of VFX.
