Chroma key test. Testing out my new adobe permier elements 3.0 chroma key.

anubis moon goes to mars

curse the mask! not my fault x)

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

This is my first chroma key attempt. I want to give credit to Mark Apsolon, which is here on Live Video, and on You Tube. He has created some fantastic DIY videos for chroma key, and I highly recommended   more...watching those and his other very funny and creative videos!  less

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

Showing my green screen

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!

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

chroma key test .

well i found out how to chroma key tuk 4 hours just to do a desent job the first 2 bits are shit and the qualitys poor but wait till u c the last one

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

I'm still alive!!!! This is a video clip I was gonna use for another project, but things happened and everything didn't fall into place. So I decided to test out some effects

Post Production engineers key out the green or blue background color, perfectly merging the two video layers. AmericanMovieCo in Manhattan has the studio where this movie clip was shot.

Great example of BlueScreen chroma keying effect with Whoppi Goldberg, This was was shot at AmericanMovieCo in Manhattan. Bill Milling as Director.

Haven't uploaded anything in a few months so I thought I'd put together a few clips from over the past week just to say HI!

<b>WARNING!! THIS IS A LONG ONE.</b> Showing you the entire collection of improvised greensuit items, most of which were gleaned from thrift stores or discount outlets..

On my front driveway I time-lapse myself painting a carpet green for what will be the floor of the backyard greenscreen stage. The carpet has been primed with two different primers on its underside,   more...which is the surface that will be used for the floor. Of course, I couldn't resist having a little fun in post-production...heh-heh!  less

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

So yea I found this old footage from when I was made my Chroma Key video. Interesting conversation I had. Can't hear the person I'm talking to, maybe it's better that way lol

More chroma key fun with my Persian Cat, Binky.

The last of my low cam footage :(

i bow dwn to ppl hu use chroma key on daily basis its shattering
