Ross Ching vroeg zich af hoe Los Angeles eruit zou zien wanneer er geen benzine meer is. Lege straten en geen file meer! Ross Ching is erg goed in het bewerken en als je verder leest dan legt Ross je uit hoe hij tot dit meesterwerkje is gekomen.

I already know what you’re thinking, so don’t send me an email asking me just yet. The secret all lies in the power of masking. If you take a series of photos of, for example, a freeway, there’s more than likely going to be places where the cars aren’t in the exact same spot.

So if you layer 10 or so images over each other in Photoshop, you can edit out all the parts where the cars aren’t. It also helps to take the shot when traffic is really light. After that, you end up with a shot like this.

Since all the shots I took were high res still images AND the camera never moved, I could simply layer the freeway parts of the image on top of my video. Here’s an image of a mask.

I combined the mask and the video in Final Cut Pro, and, since I was dealing with high res imagery, I had enough resolution to zoom and pan the shot to my liking.
