Doorknob

I'm just finishing up the VFX and green screen stuff for our doorknob. I think things are looking good and im surprised at how well the footage looks considering it was my first time doing any work like this. I'm absolutely thrilled the doorknob is finally over. I was never a big fan of doing doorknobs in class and my opinion remains.

In-Class Test

Here's a screenshot of what the final composite would look something like from our test in class today. I just did some minor color correction and desaturation to make the characters blend with the background better.

Quick&Dirty

So this is a really quick and dirty compositing. Shot with an iPhone in class against a small blue board, composited, tracked and keyed in After Effects. Total time about 15 min. I added some subtle "light movement" to the still background which we downloaded from the internet.

And, oh, yes I added a street ambient downloaded from freesound.org

A simple example of what effects are all about and how they liberate you from impossible locations etc.

Here are the elements of the composite:
