Gotcha!

So, it is the school holidays and my children are all with me. Of course, this means that we're going to put together something later on in the week as a little fun thing to do. I'm thinking either a superhero short or an action one, we'll see.

Today, I showed them the green screen for the first time and got them to do a few little things in front of it which I ended up filming with my Logitech webcam. The quality from the camera could have been a little bit better, but it was perfectly fine. Though, the green from the cloth looked a bit aqua in the video which made it a bit hard to fully key out.

The hardest part was around Jackson's head (the one shooting the gun). His hair was all over the place and it wasn't a pleasant experience keying around it at all.


On the left we have what is essentially the before shots, and on the right, the after. There is still more room for improvement, but I mainly just wanted to show my children how the whole thing works. They find it hilarious, especially the part where Brandon falls, which I have to say, he did very well.

It was pretty fun shooting this today and I can't wait until I manage to get the brand new camera i'm looking at. And now, here is the final version that i've uploaded to Youtube.

 

There you have it. And if you watched right through, you'd notice that I put the Film Australis bumper that I made last year into the video. Figured that i'll start putting it in for most of my more creative videos.
