Assignment #6: Nighttime 2

Ciao, ragazzi!

Here's my intro to 3D assignment. I used the layers I created for the first Nighttime video, put them all in the 3D format in After Effects, then added both a camera and light movement.

Again, I'm not that impressed. I think it is just my photoshop drawings. They aren't too exciting. I was surprised how hard it was to move the camera around. I never did get it quite right. Oh well. This was just a test shot. I have something MUCH bigger and better for the final 3D project.

You'll just have to wait and see... :)

Assignment #5: A Crowded Mirror

Ciao, ragazzi!

Here's my mask and shape assignment. I'm sorry it took so long, but I was having a major creative block. For the life of me, I could NOT come up with an interesting way to use the mask tool. Then I did, but didn't film it right so I had to scrap it, and now I have this.

Ever had to share a bathroom with a sibling or two? Yeah, you know what the crowded mirror is...

I actually used a green screen to film myself (the one in the red), used the keylight matte effect to key out the green, and then placed it on top of the one I filmed of the blue me. The color tone didn't match up at all for some reason, though. The one in red was VERY warm and the one in the blue was kinda cool. So, I used an adjustment layer (only over the blue "me") to color correct and make them look like they are somewhat in the same place.

Enjoy.
