Green Screen Side by Side

This video shows the side by side views of what it looks like on a green screen. It turns out looking really cool and real. I don't understand though how some videos can look extremely fake with the green screening and others look very realistic. I guess it all about the equipment you have but I am not sure. I will be excited to green screen soon and I hope my video turns out cool even though I have no idea what I am doing yet.

Chroma Key in Movies and TV shows

This is so cool to see what all is used in Green Screening. They backgrounds for shows and movies are soo realistic, you would think they were filmed right there. It is so cool what technology has done for us. I would of never guessed half the stuff that is in here was green screening. It probably makes it a lot harder for the actors not being in the actual place and getting that real sense of where they are at but They do a really good job! The whole thing is awesome!

Bullying PSA

interesting video on bullying and suicide. I like the idea behind it. For my PSA I kind of want it to be different than any other typical PSA but its hard to get ideas. I also am not sure what I am going to have in the green screen. Driving is easy because you could have a road passing by or a field, but I am not sure what else I could do, because you know SOMEONE in the class is going to do drunk driving or something along those lines.

FADE psa

Interesting. The only thing with green screening is it can look so fake. I dont know how long ago this was filmed but it was decent. Some of it could be better but it worked. I guess the only part they really worried about was the girl fading into the black. I have no clue what I am going to do for my PSA but hopefully it will be fun and creative.

Driving Distracted PSA

I guess this is what we are going to be doing with our next project. We have to film a public service announcement while using a green screen. This is done pretty well I guess. There are parts where he doesn't ever looking like he is driving, so it would of been nice to seeing him playing the part better but I got the idea of what is happening.

Cool Rotoscope

Very cool colors. I love it. It gives me an eerie feelings and reminds me of the game we used to play "Grim Fandango". (LOVED that game)...I really like the music that goes along with this as well. It really fits the mood. The artist did a wonderful job putting this together and It was very cool to watch. I could definitely tell it was looping in the beginning walking scene, but If you didn't know what looping was, you probably wouldn't be able to tell. well done.

Lemonade rotoscope

This was SO cool! It must of taking forever. Not only is the rotoscoping the important thing, but the filming of it has to be good also. This was awesome. The film fit perfectly with the music also. They did a WONDERFUL job in this and I love how it told a story with no words, just facial expressions and music. It was very cute and I loved it a lot. I also like how it was all black and white except the lemons. Very cool and gave it a neat feel.

Cintiq looks AWESOME

SO COOL! I am buying one. I am definitely buying one, and I am already looking up ones to buy online! The tablet would be amazing to use when rotoscoping. Im sure this is what the professionals use to make their videos look so good. I would have loved to have this for my rotoscope project. It would of made life sooo much more simpler. I would love to get this just to animate and do more rotoscoping videos because I may be going into the illustration field one day also. But I want one soooo bad.

Schwabb commercial

I've noticed a lot of different rotoscoped commercials recently. There was a time when it was HUGE! but it is a very cool and simple way to animate. I think the artist for this one did a great job. It is very realistic looking. I feel like in rotoscoping it would be fun to play around more with the animation. I would love to animate this with a Cintiq or something along those lines.

Rotoscope Test

Very cool! It was simple but it had depth. I feel like adding sound to your video gives it a much better feel to it. The only thing with rotoscoping that I noticed a lot is the scene is very shaky at times and it makes me almost feel motion sickness. I could definitely see how someone could get sick easily from watching a film. I saw that a lot in the film "Waking Life" and it really bothered my head and made me get a headache. Although it is so cool looking it can also be a problem to viewers.

Snowboard on Plane Rotoscope

This is cool! the guy filmed himself doing an entire commercial and it turned out great. It really looked like his mouth was moving with each word correctly. I like the detail put into it and all the different shading. I bet it took him a while but it was really cool. I also noticed he deepened his voice to give it a different effect. Pretty cool I guess. Over all is was an entertaining commercial and It was about the length of what our rotoscope projects need to be.

Gangnam Style Rotoscope

This video is crazy! when I heard about it I thought one person did ALL of it, until I found out it was a class that got assigned a certain amount of frames to do and then put them all together in the end. It is really cool to see the finished piece. Its very interesting to see what creativity and different styles come out of rotoscoping. Each animation is so different but the whole piece together looks awesome! I bet if one person did this video it would take an entire semester.

Radio rotoscope

This is very interesting! It reminds me so much of a kids show on PBS. It kind of gives me a weird feeling like it is a flashback of some sort. I dont know. But it is done very well! The character is very easy to see and works really well through the piece. The intro was also really cool how it was a radio station and it was all animated as well. It is all very cool to look at. And not all have to be color. This one is black and white with just a little bit of blue. It adds a nice touch to it.

roto-mation awake

Pretty cool! It is interesting what little stories people can come up with within a minutes time. I really like how she used herself to scratch off the bugs. The bugs weren't detailed at all but you knew what was happening. Some of it was really choppy but that is alright! It was really cool! I am excited to think of an idea for my video!

roto-mation

Very interesting. This must of been used for a school project. It seems that way. The background is all real except the main character. I can definitely tell where the loops are but that is okay. I was done pretty well! I really like how the character touched the way and the whole thing turned into animation. I really am excited to do something ;like that. I may want to do something like that. That would be very neat!

Rotoscope Schwabb

This rotoscope was done EXTREMELY well. It almost makes me think it was all done using photoshop filters because it is so clean and easy to see what is happening. They were able to capture the facial expressions extremely well and the background definitely looks like it was done in photoshop the way we learned to do it. It was still cool looking but I'd like to know how they did it.

Unnatural Rotoscope

This video was done really well! The colors were great. The music used in it gave a really scary suspenseful feel to the video. He did a great job with all the frames and really showing what he was trying to show. I really understood the message behind it all and I think it was done really well. I like how he looped it and really showed off the facial expressions of the character. Well done.

Skateboard Rotoscope

This video is really cool! They keep the background very simple throughout the entire thing. You can tell there are alot of loops within the piece. I really like how it looks, and the music adds a little to it. I also like how in the middle of the piece they switch over look of the piece and invert the colors. It adds more to the background and everything else that is going on. It looks really cool and I cant wait to learn.
