Wonder what effects were used to make this?

I'm making a version of this with a different logo.  Anyway, it *seems* like an emboss, but it isn't one I've encountered before.  Doesn't seem like any of the out-the-box emboss emboss options to me.  The gradient isn't a problem....except in regards to the emboss.  It has a very sexy, chiseled, sharp look to it that it pretty hard to recreate using homemade gradients and built-in emboss features (that I know of).  Any thoughts?  Thanks, buds.

It seems like there's a lot going on here.  There's that chiseled, metallic emboss that is most clear on the "O".  But there also seems to be a 3D effect maybe (although it could be a copy of the logo an a separate layer I suppose).  The emboss around the type is strange to me in how it is viewable at every angle.  As mentioned, I figured out the gradient pattern for the face of the logo (pretty simple to do with the brush tool) but that galdern emboss just blows my mind.  It looks like it was made with either a modified stroke, a copy of the logo an another layer, a 3D effect, the basic hard emboss or all of the above.  It's really well done to the point that it just looks abstract to me in terms of technique.  And even the emboss has what appears to be some kind of gradient applied.  I'm too much of a photoshop simpleton at this stage to figure it all out though. 
This is as far as I managed to get:
As you can see, it lacks that crisp look.  Hmmm....

  • What tools were used to make this cartoon picture?

    I want to make a picture like these ones, but i dont know which tools to use. it seems they didnt use the pen tool at all, and i cant quite figure out how they did all the shadows and highlights. its seems they used the brush, but when i use the brush tool, i dont get the same clean results. any advice? any good tutorials that could help?
    Thanks in advance

    Adobe Illustrator is probably the best tool to do something like this.  It's made by drawing a lot of shapes on a lot of layers.  You can do this with the pen/brush tool in Flash, but they really aren't the best for drawing.  Check out tv.adobe.com for some videos on Illustrator.

  • What program was used to make this video?  Is it After Effects?

    I thought that this clip was funny: http://www.clipaday.com/videos/mccain-drums.
    I want to make something similar for my brother, but I have no idea which program was used to make this.
    I have the full Adobe CS3 Suite on my computer, including After Effects. I use Photoshop, InDesign, and Illustrator regularly for my job.
    I want to try to monkey around with the video software at an amateur level. But before I buy any tutorials, I need to know what program to buy the tutorial for!!
    Thanks for any responses.

    While the clip may not necessarily have been done in AE, you can achieve
    these results. Careful masking along with good keyframing of the
    movement properties will do it. There are other ways, but while this
    might not be the fastest, would be the simplest and would provide a good
    learning experience for someone starting out.

  • What effects were used in Desperate Housewives Season 7 Promo?

    Students want to promote something on campus and want to use similar effects as used in the Desperate Housewives Season 7 Promo (see on YouTube here -->  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YGt0KEAKBPk )
    What was used to get the great coloring - very bright/sauturated?  Was iT saturation of certain colors only?
    The very orange horizon/sunset effect?
    The clothes 'falling' of the actress while she is walking, changing into other clothes
    Clothes falling of her when she is getting out of the car
    This is really a great promo and as a novice After Effects user, I would love to know how these were created (what effects/plugins/etc).
    Thanks in advance!
    Regards
    Danie

    Way over your head, if you are just a beginner...
    What was used to get the great coloring - very bright/sauturated?  Was iT saturation of certain colors only?
    The very orange horizon/sunset effect?
    Elaborate color correction.
    The clothes 'falling' of the actress while she is walking, changing into other clothes
    Clothes falling of her when she is getting out of the car
    Green screen shooting, 3D matchmoving, 3D animation, corrective warping, morphing and masking.
    All of these are advanced techniques which you won't be able to pull of on your own, even if you had worked with AE for years already. This requires a qualified team and a lot of planning and involves much more than just throwing on a few effects on possibly poorly shot footage...

  • An Idea of What Techniques Were Used in Editing This Music Video?

    hi forum,
    im a music producer from japan, who has recently gotten into video editing/production.
    i just wanted to ask if anyone could shed some light on the techniques that were used in editing the following video:
    i know the song is horrible, but i love the animation, which i assume is a combination of photoshop and after effects?
    does anyone have a basic idea of what is being done?  im not looking for specific tutorials, just some insight on what direction i should head in if i want to create something similiar.
    anyway, thanks for reading, looking forward to any replies!

    Lots of vector art and lots of 3D tracking to get things to line up and look like they are part of the scene. You can do the same thing with Mocha and corner pin tracking but it's much easier with a real 3d tracker like Camera Tracker or SynthEyes

  • What effect is used to provide this relief look on a lapel pin proof?

    I am working on sending a proof to someone for a project and have my file in vector for manufacturing.  I also have it in jpeg format and would like to be able to create an effect like this one shows.  Can anyone point me in the right direction?  It seems the gold outline looks raised and the colors of the pin are sunken in to provide a 3-D effect.
    I am also curious how to "mirror" the image and fill with a solid color to create the backside markings.  I have done this in the past in Corel but am somewhat new to PS.
    The image below is the image I am working with where the black would be raised and the red, white, blue would have the "sunken" appearance

    With the image all rasterized in pixels, you'll have to do it a bit differently than if you had it in vector shapes in several layers.
    Just one possible way to get there from here:
    Increase the canvas size to include empty space all around.
    Select then mask or delete the white surround.
    Duplicate the graphic as a second layer, run Filter - Stylize - Emboss, then set that layer to Overlay.
    Add a Drop Shadow Layer Style to the original layer.
    Test it on several different backgrounds.
    Here's the PSD file if you'd like to look at the individual layers:

  • Which effects were used in this video?

    In the link below does any one know which effects were used. I am creating a video but I would like to recreate some of these effects, specifically the two videos over lapping with transparency, the fast reverse clips, and any other you can see from the video would be helpful.  Thanks!
    KNITZ Fall 2014 - For Love & Lemons | Facebook

    Overlapping with transparency is simple enough. Just put on video on track one and the other on track two. Then set the track two video to 50% opacity and adjust to taste.You will probably spend some time changing the position of one or both of the videos.
    Shooting on green screen makes it easier to overlap videos though. Or, if not a chroma key color, at least a solid color.
    Reversing a video is a simple matter of changing the speed to a negative number.
    There really isn't anything too complicated in that video as far as I can tell. A lot of cropping and masking and transparency.  Not much else.

  • What accessories were used in the iphone video recorded in January 2014

    I am trying to learn what "extras" were used in the making of the Apple video of 24 January 2014.  Credits indicate extra accessories were used.  I would like to learn what they were.

    The Apple posted 30th Anniversary video is less than 30 days old!  So, "in the past" leads me to believe you are out of touch with reality!  
    In the Apple posted video discussion of how the video was made, there are clips of the iphones used with their accessories.  I was hoping others here would be able to recognize the accessories and share their wisdom. 
    PLEASE forgive me if I have over stepped the boundaries you are imposing on this group.  I am seeking help not reprimands!

    It's highly doubtful there's a general problem caused by that update, or the forums would be full of similar posts. More likely, it's specific to your setup somehow.
    Have you Restarted your Mac lately? If not, that's always worth a try.
    Then, make sure there isn't a problem with the file system on your internal HD. Verify it, per #6 in [Formatting, Partitioning, Verifying, and Repairing Disks|http://web.me.com/pondini/AppleTips/DU.html] (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of the +Using Snow Leopard+ forum).
    If that's ok, then as GfulDedFan says, run +*Repair Disk Permissions,+* per #5 there.
    If that doesn't help, try connecting to your router via Ethernet cable instead of wireless, to rule out interference problems.
    If you have the same results via Ethernet, you can make an appointment at the Genius Bar of your nearest Apple Store: http://www.apple.com/retail/geniusbar/
    Or call AppleCare at: (800) APL-CARE (800-275-2273)
