Who will host December's CollectiveSoul?

I made this short commercial while I was playing around with chroma key. Itdoe not make an sense but it fun to do. enjoy!

A fun short film using Chroma Key. (First on YouTube December 30, 2006)

A lot of sites have you posted on them and there is alot out there!

Another way to keep the key going...

It's time for the CS key to move on.

InspectorJury passes the key to ...?

A NobodysChild99 and Alandria collaboration. Our singing. Alandria's first real attempt at green screening. Oh, and HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

Screenshots~Naruto anime, made by me and Raidon
Music~Stand My Ground~Within Temptation
People~(appearance xD) me, Gaarasgourd, axelstar, Raidon I amde most of the screenshots x3 but Raidon made most of   more...the screen shots for herself.
This video is made for me and some of my three closest friends. enjoy xD  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

The last of my low cam footage :(

funny commercial

Initial test of my new backyard greenscreen that I have erected with the generous help of my best friend and fellow filmmaker, Larry Lo Presti. I invite you all to enjoy the evolution of this new project   more...and learn right along with me what works and whatdoesn't (Except it's all been pretty much workin'!)

I couldn't quite participate in the official "LiveVideo Offensive", but this is my attempt at it, although I have exceeded the 10-day time limit, but I should at least have ten videos about this project uploaded at some point.

By the way, I wanna see YOUR chroma key studios, too, if you got 'em! (Some of you have already shown us yours, and are included in my LiveVideo Group, "Club Chroma Key" in the DIY section of the groups.)  less

It's not terrible, but with better lighting and by moving farther away from the screen I can make it a lot better.

chilling in the viewing room

My son Zak's first on-screen kiss with the neighbor girl.

Yikes...this is attempt number one. Not enough paper...way too much time. I need better materials, but this is what I figured out within a two hour span. Enjoy!

Special thanks to Baron Dixon for suggesting I do this. Just a test of how to do chroma keying. I wish I had better lighting though. But u get what u get when u have no money. BTW I wouldn't have painted   more...my hand again if it wasn't for Baron Dixon, too tedious  less

YEAH ,THE TECHNOLOGY IS KILLING ME SLOWLY TOO

This is a short video on using Green Screen (the video backgrounds are taken with three different style of cameras.... VHS, Hi-8, and Digital 8)

Just stuff.
