Yay!

Today has been a lot better than the past few days; I actually feel like I have been making progress. I recorded a few shots and then spent a while editing them. These greenscreens can be tricky. Here's a sample of some of the compositing that I did today:

Step 1: The greenscreen

Step 2: The original video

Step 3: First overlay attempt

Step 4: Greenscreen artifiacts are removed by changing the white balance of the overlay

Step 5: Change lighting to match greenscreened image, add Depth of Field effect, render video.

Step 6: Restore rendered result to original lighting

So there you go, that's your update for April 1st. And it's no April fool's joke (or is it?).

Very hard shot

Yesterday I filmed a very hard shot for my RCT3 film. I have decided to show some screen shots of the process, because I used very strange techniques to get the shot, and they don't give any of the plot away.In case you were wondering, the dune buggy is not part of the film. I just had to use it to get the shot.

This terrain formation was also used to get the shot. Don't ask me why I had to do it. It is way to hard to explain, and even if I did explain it, by the end you would probably be bored and not care anymore.

So, yeah. That's what I did yesterday. I can't work on it today, though.
