Chroma Key Effect

I don't think I can wait any longer... Oh!



This effect was done on Final Cut Pro (yet again!) and this time I used a green screen and an image. How this was done: I had to find an image of my choice and then record myself using the Green Screen to try and act as if I was actually in it. I then imported by items into the compositor and then used the Chroma Keyer to key-out the green so the room is whats left.

That is how it is done!

8mm Effect

This Vintage look was, again, achieved with Final Cut Pro using a very complicated and stressing technique which involved several Video Filters.

Annoying Orange Effect

The annoying orange effect was achieved by using the Matte Shape effect on Final Cut Pro.

Firstly, what I had to find and image on Google (tennis ball).  Secondly I had to record myself on a camera (or in this case, a webcam) and then import both video and image onto Final Cut Pro. Then I had to use the Matte Shape effect on the tennis ball and shaped-out my eyes and mouth before then adding a Feather around the edges to smooth it out. After all those were completed, I used the Tint effect and the colour picker to select the colour (green) and mess around with it until I thought it suited the video.

Done! I have successfully done the annoying orange effect on Final Cut Pro!

Time Remapping

In this project, I have slowed down some frames to remap time. This can be achieved by selecting your Speed Tool and then enabling "Toggle Key Frames" - *alt*T then placing two key frames onto your product where you want it to remap. Then extend the key frames to make the frame-rate slower on the project.

Key Framing Exercise

Image Exercise


This was created on the program, Final Cut Pro - just like most of my college productions seen on this blog. I specifically used the "Key Framing" tool, which can be achieved by pressing both 'Shift-K' and then maneuvering the image (using Image+Wireframe) to any allocated position and rotation.

Text Exercise


Again, I used the same technique as the previous video but instead using the Text function rather than an image and received similar results. Enjoy both pieces of fabulous artwork!

PleasantVille Effect

This effect was achieved in Final Cut Pro using the Color Correction 3 way effect. I had to manual select the colour I wanted to stand out. In this video it was the yellow sheet on paper. Because of similarities within the college, some of the yellow was on the college floor and walls. But, none the less the effect was still pulled and I completed the task successfully.

Cloning Effect

In this Cloning Effect achieved in Final Cut Pro, Anton (played by myself), is minding his own business whilst fixing his glove until he is then disturbed by his annoying twin called Pepto who then swings on his chair annoyingly. Disturbed, Anton walks off in a very confused manner.

\Making it possible/

I made this possible through the use of shooting two shots of me, one on either side. Later in post, I then positioned both my clips to overlap each other and used the "crop" tool to crop (in half) both footages to make it look like we were both in the scene. It is my first attempt at cloning therefore errors have been made. For example, the first few seconds of the video you can see the the lightning is quite different (just look towards the centre screen and you will notice two different lightings).
