Turn day into night | Advanced Day for Night Filmmaking Tutorial

Learn how I made my day time video look like it was shot at night.

-Fast & Easy Special Effects: Coming Soon

Learn to color grade from day to night. Many times budget doesn't allow for filming a night time scene so you have to film it during the day and in post make it look like night. It's an easy way to get great shots that look like night time.

Remember, in filmmaking there's no problems, just a lack of solutions!

I've seen this a million times, but I've never seen anyone go the extra mile and do a sky replacement with stars. 😍

So beautiful, made me appreciate your short film so much more.

This is so helpful, I'm turning my friend's epic poem into a film for school and school takes place during the day obviously, but the poem takes place at night, so we have to turn the shots to night time

Such a great tutorial. The stars was a good addition to the effect!

Thanks for your tips, Tom. About your result: The star-sky is great and very convincing for my eye. But I would have found it more believable if the whole scene would have been completely desaturated to almost black and blueish-white. Thanks again for sharing your technique ! It was very helpful for me.
Dziękuję!

Super nice! Kinda tried this on my last video on a hyperlapse and turned out so well! so nice to do stuff like this!

That's real cool and actually pretty inspiring, thanks for sharing!

Thank you so much for this. Most of the other videos I've found on youtube were not nearly as helpful as this. Following most other video tutorials, I'd get a shot that painfully looks like dslr day for night. But this is really good. I have a shoot coming up where I have a bedroom scene at night time and I'm dying to shoot it like there is only moonlight coming in from the windows. I think this video has a lot to offer, even though it is mostly about shooting outside

A good tip I learned was to change your white balance in camera, that way you have a headstart.
