— treadmill stuff

The treadmill was actually a treadmill modified to create a more natural walk for a green screen shot.  The front part was removed so that the controls would not be blocking the actor as they walked.  To help the actor keep balance there was a pole added to the one side that would not be facing the camera.  If they needed to they could lean on that pole to regain their balance.  The treadmill was painted compleately green so that just like the suit and a green screen it could be keyed out by the editor.

---- Greenscreen suit

A full body green suit that allow the editor to edit the person out of the shot easier.
The use of a greenscreen suit helps create things float, move, or animate inanimate objects.  When you bring the footage into After Effects just like a green screen you can key light the green suit out of the shot.
I havent used this effect in any of my home projects but saw it done in class.

— car crash

The car crash was a fun group project.  I was the one helping hold the green screen and finding sounds for the action.  Found that filming out side with the green screen has some problems in itself.  The enviroment keeps changing from sunny to cloudy.  Plus people moving their cars in and out of the shots

— motion tracking

I dont have the video of the motion tracking.  It was a hard project for me since After Effects was not working as smoothly as i would have liked it that day.  I understand all the needs for the motion tracking and found that it was a great way to make any corrections to movies that bobbed to much.

#8 — Final Project "Going Nuts"

This was my final project for class.  I used animated words.  Greenscreen.  Stop action and doubles.  This was a fun project and interesting to try and preform.  Originally  i was going to have a ghost hunting group but the lack of actors had me change the video.
I tried to use different shots that I have never done before in my videos such as point of view, high and low shots, extrem close ups, and over the shoulder.

— in-class one-minute movie "Bug Girl Attacks"

An in class project done in a few minutes.
Had to use specific shots and themes.

#7 — Kinetic Typography "Dirty Joke"

Loved making this one. Favorite project thus far.  Was easy for me to do and loved making the words animate.

#6 — Shatter / Disintegrate / Particles "Don't touch my hat (dissolve)"

Hard trying to get the dissolve to save out with a transparent background so had to go with background dissolving with the guy.   I would like to try this again and also add sound when I get the chance.

#5 — Greenscreening Actor into Commercial Movie or Game "Sarah Galliera Greenscreen_Game"

Had Troubles getting the Cat to do stuff and stay on the Green Screen.  The camera and green screen didnt seem to mix well, giving the picture an odd fuzz making it hard to take out just the green.  Other wise it was a fun try to make my own green screen set up in my home

Playing with the green screen film

Wanted to play around with the green screen film and make a loop of it for fun

#4 — Greenscreen & Background vs. Real Set "GreenScreen vs Live"

Was an interesting project had to figure out a way to make a make shift steps for the green screen part to make it look like i was walking down the real steps.

#3 — Action Sequence "Slap"

It was hard trying to get the actors to actually not to laugh and to preform the slap correctly.  There was plenty of different tries and takes on this and had a second slapper to try and see if they could do it better.

#3 — Action Sequence "Stunt Double (Stunt Kitty)"

This was a fun project but was hard tring to find a fat enough plushie that matched the cat.  No cats were harmed in the making of this short.

#2 — Doubles "Doubles"

I had fun making this film but had trouble with the enviroment.  The snow had a different shade in the two films and the wind was blowing so in one shot you can see the bush being still and the other half moving with the wind.

#1 — Stop-Action Substitution "Substitution"

The matching of the frames to make it so that the person seemed to stay in the same postion and continueing was a tricky part.  I over used the fades.
