Amazing Math Green Screening

Just thought I would post a image comparing Our first days filming and The most resent one...
 
As you can see the second TT (taken first) has a green screen behind him that is kinda dark, so I upped up the exposure 2 stops, and now it is to bright, it actually blew out in some places, and is bit yellower than I would like, so next time I will try 1 stop up!

Amazing Math Filming

So, after many weeks of being busy we finally got a chance to get our second day of filming in for the Amazing Math project! It went very well, we estimate that we will need about 2 more shooting days to get the "feature" shot.

I used the Dolly we build for HAMP and it worked fantastic! I only did one actual dolly shot, but used it extensively as a way to move the camera closer and further away form the green screen, as aposed to lifting and moving the camera and tripod, I just slid it! much faster easier!

My New Dolly

For the first Home Academy of Moving Pictures (a video school for homeschooled kids in Airdrie and area that I run and teach) Pre-Production class I had the kids make a dolly! It worked out very well, wasn't hard to make, and is really nice. I used the instructions from an e-book I got for Christmas! I am really happy with how it turned out! The e-book is called Killer Camera Rigs That You Can Build: http://www.dvcamerarigs.com/ It even looks like it could hold a camera operator if I made a bigger one!

Amazing Math Update

The Amazing Math Project is coming along, we haven't had any time to film again, so I have been doing FX, however I got sick, and then things piled up, so I am a bit behind. However I do have a Render to show you all!

The Lost Socks and my you-tube videos

Hey, long time no update! Well, let's change that. I was sick for a week and had to catch up on a lot of things as a result. This week I have begun to upload my video collection to YouTube. I only have a few videos up ATM but hopefully I will be able to get the permissions and have the time to get them all uploaded soon!

Of interest, I entered the 24 CF.org contest, and am now awaiting the results, out my submition, and then the before and after the effects video!




Please ask questions. I would love to answer them!
