I ordered a green screen.. something I've wanted since last year when I bought my Canon T2i. When it got here, I spent a good day or three trying to find a spot to hang it up. And here I thought 9'x15' was going to be too small.. I can barely find a room big enough to accommodate it's size.. let alone the Canon 550d's default lens.
But I made it work last night, and surprisingly it worked out pretty well.
I plan to make a live action + animation video.. like Who Framed Roger Rabbit. I figure it could be hilarious.
My first test was just an animation made in the program TVPaint and placed onto a video of me.
And this is my first test of the green screen and movie mode. Premiere Pro almost did all the work itself.. I can barely take credit. Premiere Pro cs4 did have a problem with 550d footage and preview stuttering. It made it extremely difficult to time things.. so hopefully I find a solution soon. BUT, even with the severe stuttering.. I was cracking up while editing it. Maybe it's cause I'm in it.. but it just looks so silly! Hopefully I can make something really entertaining next!
I played TF2 a week or two ago with a few friends and frapsed a ton of videos. Posted those to my youtube page too. I don't get as much satisfaction out of making 'funny' gaming videos as I use to. It's fun and all.. but nothing beats bringing a character you drew to life in a video. Heres one of the six or so I edited and plopped on my channel! Tell me what you think!
