Post Four

After finally being able to get the footage onto my computer from Richard's camera via his Mac, I was able to cut up the green screen shots into clips then key them out into sillouettes by using a white solid layer as a base, keylight, changing the track code to inverted matte then playing with the alpha channel in the curves adjustment. I saved both keyed and un-keyed footage as I may want to remove the green screen and just desaturate the model rather than make him a silhouette. Here is a screen shot below:

I was also able to do a test title sequence against a brown crumpled paper background, with stock footage of ink drops in water, mirror effects on after effects and text masked to reveal with the movement of the ink. I also added a ripple effect to the centre where the ink blot originated just to give the idea of movement for the text. I'll upload that to youtube for my next post.
