About My Project
For my project in animation, I did the green-screening for a collaborative project between six students in our class. We did a short video based on the George of the Jungle trailer(link it). The process of making this project was pretty easy since there were six of us coming up with ideas for our final project. We each had separate jobs to do in the group; such as special effects, green-screening, and 3D modelling. All of which was something we learned at some point earlier in the semester. I was one of the students doing green screen in my group.
The project ran smoothly as well. We had the story board made just the day after figuring out what we wanted to do for our video and started filming almost immediately afterwards. The idea of our film was inspired by a kid in my group named George. Editing went smoothly as well, since we has a lot of people in our group, the project came together very well. I got done with my part in green-screening within a few days.
I think next time I would definitely white balance the camera before filming our scenes. Next time I will make linear keys before the key lights because that was a mistake I made a long the way. Making shadows proved to be very helpful in this project. I overall have a newfound respect for green-screening. It's very hard to get to look just right and takes a lot more editing and refining than you'd think, this project was very eyeopening for me.
What I Learned
Along the way, I learned a lot about green-screening and editing. I had a lot of help from my teacher but it paid off a lot because I now have a better understanding of green-screening and how it works. Collaboration was a big part of this project as well, communication between my fellow peers was a vital play into how quickly we got done with our project.I think next time I would definitely white balance the camera before filming our scenes.
