I'm actually here about your vid cover, rather than the vid itself. Did you do the coloring on the main image of Scully? If so, can I ask how you got it to look so gorgeous and pastel? It's absolutely lovely, and I love how it makes her eyes stand out like that. I am new to Photoshop, and I'd love to learn to do something like that.
This cover was actually done in under ten minutes, I used an action from rocked-out (http://rocked-out.deviantart.com/gallery/), sadly when I checked to give you the set number I saw that s/he removed most of her stuff. But a few action sets are still available. You should definitely check the galleries out. I uploaded this particular set of rocked-out here (http://www.mediafire.com/?43ps9wa01qp4bht), I'll remove it once you download it. I used PS Action 48 on that blend. So you download the zip, unzip it and put it into Adobe - Presets - Actions and double click on the set. Now it should load in PS and there you can play the action, but I would recommend to use a copy of the original project to possible undo the changes.
Actions in PS are automated work steps, they make life so much easier. You can for example record the workflow if you always use certain basic effects to lighten up icons after you cropped them. And then you have the more elaborate actions like the ones from rock-out, which are basically a recording of the way the artist manipulated the coloring in their ps. After you loaded them in your PS and press play they simulate the coloring.
I was so happy when I first discovered them, because you can reduce the time-consuming recurring tasks enormously, if you work for example with screencaps and then really work with individual coloring. So you're very welcome.
