While thinking of some movies and television shows to rotoscope myself into, I took some time to look for some examples and inspirations. This is Freddie Wong's spoof trailer of "Twilight: Eclipse". I found that he did a great job of fitting himself into the negative spaces of the film as well as weaving in some funny one liners between the characters conversations. Even the scene where he puts himself in the same bed as Bella and Edward, he did a pretty good job of editing himself in there. Not to say that there weren't some quirks to the video. At certain parts I could see the green screen feathering around Freddie, and at other parts you could tell that the lighting he used really put him out of place, but this is ten times better than what I will probably do.

I also watched Ellen DeGeneres' skit of the same idea. Although hers had a lot more practical effects, like rebuilding similar sets, but I think her editor did just as well! 

Putting Yourself Into A Film...Like Ellen!

I'm not sure how many of you are fans of Ellen DeGeneres or her talk show, but I like Ellen, and therefore this post is about her.

One of the many segments that can be found on the Ellen Show features Ellen when she inserts herself into films, much like we're about to do for our final projects. Two such films she's done this with are Titanic, when it was rereleased last April for the anniversary of the sinking of the ship, and the other was last year for Twilight, Breaking Dawn Part 1. In typical Ellen fashion, she makes the scenes in which she inserts herself comical, and I really enjoy it when she does this.

I'm adding the videos to these two films for you. Enjoy!
