Episode 4, Hallway VFX Tests, Green Screen




These are 7 variants (as well as A's and B's which are just pushes on existing background). The bear is shot green screen with both my canon 60 D and DJI Osmo+ to see what worked better, and there are two different variants on the background. I will likely reshoot the backgrounds because of the light leaks from the window, which you can see on the ceiling and door as I shot it during the day instead of at night.

So far I am leaning towards 1, 4 and 5 as my favorites. I am going to re-render those with a few changes (centering the bear more, and making her grown larger) and see which one is my favorite.

Episode 4, Macy and the TV VFX Test 2

A second very quick VFX test of Macy running across the bed. I had to remove myself from the shot and think I did a pretty good job.

Episode 4, Macy and the TV VFX Test 1

Here is a quick VFX test of Episode 4 of Macy running down a hall. Using a miniature green screen I built.

Episode 4, Macy and the TV ANIMATIC

This is an animatic of my storyboards for episode 4. No sound, and simple drawings, but you can see what I am going for.

Episode 3, Macy and the Fish Behind the Scenes

This is a picture in picture of the short, with the final shots in a window and the original shots shown full screen, so you can see what I did.

Episode 3, Macy and the Fish

This is the third episode and the first complete story with full VFX, and bad ass music by the Great Ryan "Shmedly" Maynes of Secret Powers!


Episode 2

This is episode 2, which again was more of a test and proof of concept. I hope you enjoy it.
