Finished!! (A mini evaluation)

At last, I have finished!

I'm pleased that after the semester I've had, I've actually finished with something! It may not be the best I can do but I worked hard to finish with something at least.

The only thing I'm not overly pleased with is the quality of the video I shot on mini DV. I think perhaps now I would re-shoot that on a HD digital camcorder if I had more time, as the quality would be so much better, especially considering how much editing the video footage had to go through!

I am quite pleased with the 3D work I did for the beginning, especially as I had forgotten how to animate within Maya and so had to re-learn (which I did in less than an hour, thank god I'm a fast learner) and I think the 3D work looks quite good, especially as I integrated blue screen and conjoined two 3D animations into one and put video onto the television. I think the 3D work is the part of the final video I am most pleased with.

I didn't leave enough time for sound and so didn't put in the voices I had originally planned, but I think the soundtrack I purchased works better with the film then the voices would have.

Next time, when I have my idea... I'm sticking to it! More time = better product!

Update on Progress

White has been keyed out and replaced with a white background which will have the text scrolling over it soon.

Beginning titles, completed!!

Back again :D

So I've now finished editing the videos, and started to animate in After Effects. Got my title sequence on its way so all is looking good.

Here's a screen shot of the dream sequence. It took me a while to decide how to make it different from the rest of the video, as it's all in black and white,so I went for a silhouette approach which looks quite good.

Here's one of the videos ready for After Effects, it's the Chastity one:

Back on with it I go...

Some screenshots

Here are some screenshots of my work as it's now being put together (at long last!!!)

This is the video I shot being edited in Premiere:

This is the last piece of typography I made:

Now that every part is ready to be imported into After Effects and animated, it shouldn't take too long to key out the white and then replace the backgrounds with the animated typography.

The television is ready to be added into After Effects and the blue keyed out to be replaced with the flickering television screen I filmed.

It's finally getting there!

Happy New Year!

Can't believe it's been a month since my last post...

iMovie is not my friend it seems (never liked it anyway) and so I'm now exporting footage from premiere because it's a better quality and for the life of me I don't know why Apply changed iMovie to make it worse than it actually was!

Got the chastity typography done, just need to animate it when I get the video into After Effects, should be done by today fingers crossed!

Poor Mac doesn't know what's hit it, been working on my laptop which has better spec and now I'm back to using this and I think it's in shock.. either that or I'm not used to it's slowness!

Here are some of the typographies I have done so far:

(they all relate to Chastity)

 

That's all my Mac can handle at the moment, poor thing is going skitty!

Happy New Year everyone!
