We began Reel Life. Uncut. Uncensored. this past weekend. Fun series… all about finding truth in movies. For the visual elements, we pulled together our designer heads and set up a joint video / photo shoot. Using local actors from NewSpring, the images for the opener and the print piece were created. Nice tie in to connect the print and video elements.
(note, the static image you see at the very end is a grab of the print piece… you can see the connection with the video elements).

A few technical notes:
(1) there was no audio captured on site. Everything you hear is post produced.
(2) the main actor is my homegroup boy Lance, who also appears in the print piece.
(3) everything was shot at the AmStar Theater in Anderson. Always get permission when you shoot on location.
(4) for the “effect,” we literally taped green paper over the poster frame. Then it was lit to get it even. It was a painful keying process to get it clear. I discovered that “green screen” work isn’t as easy as they make it out to be!

Chroma Keying is from the devil, imvho. I’ve spent hours in FCP tryig to get a good key. Came across Ultra Key which was later bought out by Adobe. Will only be available in the CS3 production suite available in June….windows only..GRRRR. I bought a copy of Ultra Key 2 to use on my intel macbook pro via parallel on MS WIN XP. Vector keying looks very kewl.
