Once more Sylar invades the otherwise idyllic Tyranny of the Tyrannovision Tyrant.

Immediately following the attack of July 11th 2007, the Tyrannovision Tyrant is on the warpath to find out who's the guilty party. Meanwhile, the resident mad inventor, Dr. Klindowiener, has amped up   more...Tyrantulania's defenses with an unusual force field.....

Hey, gang, if you really enjoy THIS video, then hang around my channel for a bit and check out the BONUS features: An Audio Commentary version, and the Production Vlogs where I show various aspects of "how I do it"!  less

Strange things can happen when you play around with chromakey!

Here is the quick and easy way to create Chromakey and Green Screen
effects with Sony Vegas Movie Studio.
SO simple, easy and quick.

Greenscreen contest

Here is the overview of the editing software that I use to do all my video compositing. In fact, I used that very software to edit THIS video! I do these vlogs very extemporaneously so what is actually   more...up behind me on the greenscreen was decided upon in the editing phase. This software enables me to work pretty fast and loos, so I can just throw everything into a vlog but the kitchen sink (The kitchen sink being hidden behind the greenscreen canvas).  less

I had bought myself some green paint at HomeDepot for the purpose of making chroma key backgrounds. Doing chroma keying in animation is easy, but I wanted to see how much work it would be for live-action   more...chroma keying. I painted a large canvas green and propped it up on the kitchen counter behind me. I also shot this foortage with mt $100.00 digital webcamcorder, rather than my Sony Digital-8 camcorder, which is what I normally use, just because I wanted to ase how well the editing software would work under crappy shooting circumstances. As you can see, I got pretty darned good results, even with the uneven lighting, whiuch was just the room lights in the kitchen, and nothing else.Oh, And a desk lamp lighting me. Then I just started grabbing various bits of animation I had done (which you will see in other videos here and there) and started using the various chroma key and luminance key functions of Magix Movie Edit Pro 11 to make layers of keyed video, just to see how well it worked. This experiment laid the foundation for the work I've done in the "Tyrannovision" series. By the way: That green canvas back there and that messy kitchen is where I currently shoot my Tyrannovision videos, just to show youhow easy this stuff is to do nowadays. Why is the kitchen a mess? because I'm too busy making videos!

I was also playing around with Morpheus for the first time, so you'll see some examples of that as well.

Many of youhave requested video tutorials from me about special FX and editing. But while I haven't gotten around to making one yet, I thought I would at least share with you my experimental footage to give you a glimpse into my process.

SOFTWARES USED:
MAGIX Movie Edit Pro 11 (For compositing in chroma- and Luma-key. TerryBubble uses this as well. Check out his channel for his own chroma key tutorial)
Morpheus (for morphing, natch. I also played a bit with photo warping, but Onhand is much easier for that)
OnHand Wild Photo Effects (A photo-warping program that I use EXTENSIVELY for a lot of my animation)
Audacity (For cleaning up the audiotape recordings of original music)
Windows Movie Maker (My main editing workhorse, and it's easy to save to different formats with readouts of what your final file size will be)

MUSIC: "Oprahvsky!" by Baron Dixon, based on Beethoven's "Pastorale" and Tchaikovsky's "Nutcracker", inspired by an early 1990's Oprah Winfrey theme song.  less

In acting for the greenscreen part 2, we learn how to prepare emotionally. Valerie and Julie demonstrate two acting techniques you can employ to make your greenscreen performance more believable.

Talking a little bit about my new show, and the greenscreen that I use.

I know this is a little late but I have been super busy this past week....I hope you enjoy! Also..this goes out to Dreamland28smom!!!!

Bill sings the song "HURT" in the style of Johnny Cash (with the video in the background)

Acting in front of a greenscreen is more than hitting your marks and finding the right eye line. Deanna and Natalie perform a couple of scenes and show us how it's done by interacting with their imaginary   more...environment and making strong choices.  less

A day that will live in Villainy.

Dr. Interact has claimed responsibility for the 7/11 attack, while Qpid makes a pre-emptive strike on the command center. A mysterious text messenger makes an even more mysterious demand of the Tyrannovision   more...Tyrant, a demand that may be met by a tremendous life-force in a small. delicate package..... All that and "Armchair Karaoke", too!

Now the wall has been completely coated with Professsional-Grade ROSCO Chroma Key Green VideoPaint (Also avaialble in Chroma Key Blue). We paid around $72.00 US for a gallon of this stuff, but ONE COAT   more...gets the job done, where I previously used THREE coats of Behr Premium house paint. If time is money on your set, then the Rosco paints definitely save you money. It's a cost versus value argument. Big thanks to my best bud Larry Lo Presti for coming over on his days off and helping me get this project more and more completed.  less

I put some match-move dots on the greenscreen. ALso we see how Larry's "Spirit Of Passion" puppet works!
