Try using ultra key.
Green is prefered for digital post production.

If you going to be doing things like filming that bug then I think chroma paper might be the better way to go.

able123 Mar 17, 2012 10:50 AM (in response to Powered by Design)Being St. Patrick's Day... I would stick with the green key....and light that bug with special bug lighting...
( tiny little HMI or Tungsten units )
Maybe give that bug a little sniff of Guinness Stout and then hold stout just out of frame so the bug follows the scent and walks in the right direction etc...
ITS BEER THIRTY ! YIPEE ! HAPPY ST PATRICKS DAY !
THINK GREEN !

Brit.b Mar 17, 2012 1:35 PM (in response to Brit.b)The ultra key did the trick - or at least it is getting there.
I’m in a rural small city in New Zealand so Chroma paper is hard to come by, and the local stationary stores only have rough textured cheap colored paper. You are right, that paint brush texture becomes positively mountainous with those tiny bugs, so I probably should sand and repaint with a darker blue and with a fine texture roller, but the ultra key does a much better job.
(I found that the green key doesn’t work as well with the shadows –at least with my animations.)

Much better then trying to sand that piece smooth.

Powered by Design Mar 17, 2012 5:47 PM (in response to able123)I thought they brought Pan Am back.
I only watched one episode and it wasnt for me.
The lighting was good though.
That sucks about graphics card.
Time for a whole new system for you. Mayby with CS6
Thats a big move from NY to MN, colder too.

10. Re: Blue screen paint
able123 Mar 17, 2012 7:52 PM (in response to Powered by Design)yeah, pan am looked good. lots of post for green screen too .. like boardwalk empire.
learned a little about that stuff ( plate shots etc )...some cool editing stuff on sets, targets on ceilings for triangulation ( laser measured )
basically shooting alexa with a little camera on top pointing up to targets, going live to video (DIT station ) with that little camera, timecode etc,
2 hd sdi outputs from alexa plus recording to mem card in camera ( log c )
then add airplanes outside terminal and all that stuff in post.. lots of that.. kinda expensive to shoot. being period piece adds to cost ( props, cars on streets, costumes, signs, .. all kinds of stuff to deal with )
nyc sucks. too expensive. must move. used to be OK... now not so good.. housing super expensive for single income. getting worse.
have friend in MN... nice church to join.. meet new people etc. see what happens.

Powered by Design Mar 17, 2012 8:59 PM (in response to able123)I really love the Alexa.
I was watching a video of the new 120fps and it looked sweet.

If only we could have cameras like that. I guess it only takes money. lol

12. Re: Blue screen paint
able123 Mar 18, 2012 3:29 PM (in response to Powered by Design)that was pretty.. nice export too for youtube... end product.
nice and smooth slow mo etc. especially considering the output to youtube.
I probably woulda shot at 56k instead of 32... so it wouldnt be " blue" sky etc.. and let the flames go hot ( warm in color .. red, whatever ).. and skin tone too from flame 'light etc "... Im not a big fan of blue skies at night like that... just a personal thing.
probably woulda just added some fill and one key for skin tone at 56k.. let flames be warm and streetlights in background etc.
dont know what they did in post with color...but you get the gist of what im saying
nice clip though... especially considering its on youtube ( who know what they do )
hehe..
