Final Project Update 4

For the final part of my project, I finished rendering effects and then finished cutting all of my footage together to the song "Summertime Clothes" by Animal Collective in Final Cut Pro. I added some transitions and effects in Final Cut and rendered everything again in Final Cut then exported the final video. Some problems I did not think of happening was having to rerender all of my clips I already rendered in After Effects to a lower quality since Final Cut the computer could not handle the videos without freezing. Here is my finished video:

Final Project Update 3


I created and animated 3D shaped using maya and brought them into after effects. I then took a 2D still of the diamond shape and used it in the beginning of the project. I added light rays and lens flare to make the object appear to be shining in the sun. I changed the position and the scale of the object to follow the pictures scale and position change.

Final Project Update 2

I edited all the footage I shot on the screen screen as well as footage I shot in front of a blacklight wall covered in flowers, using the keylight effect to use it as a sort of greenscreen. I used several different backgrounds and effects and both the greenscreen and the blacklight screen, changing the screen matte, blur, and black, and white gain to get the colors I wanted to show. I then rendered them all out separately and added particles effects and other effects to the outside footage that was not shot on a greenscreen.
