Hi, for my S.T.A.R. entry i would like to create an early morning shot of a dude leaving his home. I realise that it can be achived with audio but i would like that early morning frost look. Any ideas??
thanks

Well, you should put your lamp quite low down, to get the effect that the Sun is still low in the sky. Also, if you want it frosty, then make sure it's a white bulb and/or put a slightly blue filter on it.
I'm sure there are more ways, but I'll leave the other site members to elaborate on them.
how would i put a filter on it? i do not have after effects

As in, an actual filter on the lamp. You know, one made of plastic.
Oh, I have one of those! (actually more than one -- who animates with just one lamp?)
Anyway you want some nice, soft lighting. Bright, but soft. Get a nice bulb and tape a sheet of printer paper to the lamp to diffuse the light.
I created an early morning look for my current film by having a white background and shining a red light at the bottom of the background and a blue light at the top, then I had a yellow light on the set,
Looked like this http://bit.ly/o1p4I
thanks for the help guys. unfortunatly i havent been able to do any animation since my previous post due to a camera problem. but i now have a new camera and i will hopefully resume animating this afternoon.-with any luck. so i may not be able to enter star although i can create about two minutes of footage in about two weekends. so thank you very much for your help and i will post when i have somthing ne w to report

well, someone seems to have it in for me.Now *typically* my laptop power pack output has screwed up. so yesterday evening was spent taking the laptop apart and re-soldering my positive laptop charge output cable to the motherboard.So i am hoping that i can finish this evening, if not then i will cancel my entry to S.T.A.R. I may still create a short movie that is elegible to star but it wont be entered if i finish after the deadline.
ok, that laptop is officially buggered. So i have now aquired a new laptop!!! This should now work and i should be animating again by next weekend 
.Unfortunatley star is off :'( But i have a new idea for a brickfilm which i will start filming in mid-august(Holiday to Croatia) so thanks again for the help
