Adventures of a Green Screen Noob! Live action & Animation LOLS!

I wasted some time.  I'm not proud of it.  Somewhere along the way I just forgot about my long term goals and drifted off into lazy mode.  Also, did I mention I was in outer space?

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!
