VFX Elements Pack 003 – Snow

As I promised, I have more snow elements for you. I shot some nice bokeh elements in this batch too that when combined with some of the other elements really make a deep composition. Since last time I was also able to get out and shoot some heavier snow that I’ve included in this pack. The wind was pretty intense and with my backdrop acting as a big sail it made the shoot interesting. The backdrop blew over twice even with four sandbags on the stands! The things filmmakers have to go through sometimes! Anyway, enough from me!

Download four snow elements.

These are all 6k raw H.264s at high bit-rate of 200 mbps. So really you should notice next to no compression artifacts when working with these.  I know .braw or ProRes 4444 would be preferable but there is no way my host would let me start slinging 500 GB .zip files without cutting me off.

Screening these over footage works well since there is no alpha baked in but if you want a more naturalistic composite use these plates as a luma matte for an animated solid or try using Video Copilot’s Color Vibrance to easily create an alpha for these elements.
