The journal part is down there. I CAN'T DO THIS! I've been TRYING to make this "Space Hike" video work, but the camera man SUCKS, and the lighting is TERRIBLE! The guy in charge of the class thing "helped us out" with the lighting, but he's used to lighting live-action scenes, and he has NO CLUE what he's doing when it comes to green-screening! I was worried about the lighting, but I figured he's the expert... NOOOOOPE!
In other words then, I spent over $250 of my OWN money for crummy takes of a video I wrote! Not to mention the hours I spent going to and from the class! Then there's the issue with the quality... OH MY GOSH it's AWFUL! They insisted in using their ONE film camera, which is a rather nice one for it's time, but it was BELOW 720p! My phone does better then that.
That ALSO dramatically effects the quality of the green-screen! That green-screen wasn't even real! it was basically two pieces of cardboard (One with a HOLE in it) and green paint. It DIDN'T go to the floor, and it was held up by DUCT TAPE.
I've tried EVERY trick in the book, one of which would semi-work, but would take weeks to months to complete.
I can only hope I can manage to squeeze at least a glimmer of what I had planned, but I doubt that since you can see through their faces. ;[
Edit: Sorry about this, I'm not usually one to get angry, but this matter truly infuriates me! =<
youd think being "professionals" theyd know better than to use an outdated film camera >.>
