Final Report

Image via Wikipedia This has been a very tiring experience. Over the last ten week I have had the chance to direct and produce my own film, the only reason why behind it is that I enjoy making films. I had an idea and locations and was on schedule. I managed to film all the [...]

Final Day of Editing so far…

The Film is almost done but I still have a bit more motion tracking to do. It has taken longer than previously though mainly due to the fact that for some of the trackers, they weren’t correctly light so some shots will have to be changed for the final edit. Some of the green markers [...]

Motion Tracking

Image via Wikipedia I have spent most of today motion tracking the finished monitor footage to the main edit of the film by importing into After Effects. So far its been harder than I first anticipated this is dew to the fact that the markers I used whilst still effective for the most part some [...]

Rotobrushing

The last couple of days I have been editing my monitor footage ready for tracking this week. I have been rotobrushing the t-shirts of each of the versions of Paul to make them stand out when viewed on the monitors, and so far its looking pretty good, I’m interested to see what it looks like [...]

Monitor Test 4

Here is a test I made today after I capture all my footage. I chose a clip and tried using the roto-brush to select his t-shirt, and then I increased the contrast and made the red brighter also adding a cartoon effect to highlight the detail in the shirt, then desaturated the rest of Paul [...]
