Doorknob

So I'm almost done with all the vfx on my greenscreen footage. I've placed background and added a layer of fog and masks over all the shots to give it the feel of being in a meat freezer. Last step is to go back and add frost breath and match it to the dialogue. Once everything is complete and back in final cut I'll make sure to render out a quicktime file and upload it so you guys can check it out.

Also if you don't check Video Copilot regularly he just released a tutorial for crumbling text. Also he's been working on a short movie that he should post soon. It looks like it's going to be pretty insane so check back soon to see if it's up.

Frost Breath

This is a frost breath test I did for my Golden Doorknob today in class. I managed to get my hands on the plug-in that Kramer uses in the tutorial so the result is similar. The character in this scene is in a meat freezer. No audio on the vid.

Doorknob Effect

So I have to plan out and work on a shot for my Golden Doorknob film. We are doing a shot where a guy is looking out of a large glass window. We need to replace the background with an industrial city with smokestacks and such. We plan on overexposing the shot a little bit so that the light coming through the window is easy to luma key out. Then I'll probably put together a background by splicing different images together in photoshop. The thing im most concerned about is making the background look like it's outside and through glass. Whether that be by adding a reflection to the glass somehow or blurring the background and adding some other effects I don't know, so thats something i'll be playing around with.
