Green Screen Test



This is a short piece showing the results of my test run using Final Cut Pro and Motion 3.
Two great pieces of software that have huge potential. I used a standard 3CCD MiniDV SD Camera (Canon XM1) and a 7ft x 5ft chromakey screen (green). The lighting is flat (no fill) for a reason as i wanted to have a certain 2d/pseudo 3d look which i'd like to think i achieved.
It was all shot in about an hour and the whole thing probably took about 9 hours to complete.
So it is on to a 'proper' short using the techniques i have learned here. When i have completed the storyboard i'll post it here.
