- [Voiceover] In this movie, we're going to take…our elongated snake from the previous movie…and we're going to essentially roast it…in order to create this dark silhouette…that still has a lot of detail inside of it.…Which will be perfect for inclusion…in our thrilling adventure montage.…The first thing we need to do…is just darken the snake the good old fashioned way…using an adjustment layer.…I'll go ahead and click on this white layer right here,…inside the Layers panel.…And then I'll go up to the Layer menu,…choose New Adjustment Layer,…and then just choose Brightness Contrast.…
Something that can be empty.…In other words, we're not going to make…any modifications to the settings.…And, in fact, I'm going to go ahead…and name this layer empty,…and then click OK.…And now, I'll go ahead and hide the Properties panel…because we don't need it.…And I'll change the blend mode from Normal to Multiply…in order to darken up that snake.…Now, that's not nearly enough,…but the great thing is we have something…we can use now in the form of a channel.…
