Q & Erik: Compositing, Camera Troubleshooting and Justin's Breakthrough Role...

was justin seriously in that movie?

Erik is cool enough to say dog

623 oh yah

Hey, Im Dave and I love making movies with my 0 SD card camera. Cheap and fun. I use WMM because I just dont have anything else but soon that will all change. Im Into alot of 50s sci fi and b-grade horror. Mwahahahaha. Check out my vid "Evil Space Robot" on youtube.

Does Erik have webbed hands?

You don't need to use a green screen to make the soldiers pass over each other...just some very careful and annoying masking. It's a matter of going frame by frame when the characters are over lapping, which is annoying, but if they only pass over each other briefly, then it's not so bad. It will also save on setting up, lighting and keying a green screen. Not sure about other programs, but in After Effects you can also feather the mask to make the edge soft, so it doesn't look as fake...this will work really well if the soldiers are far from the camera.

See that guys? I'm always checking the uploads for video questions, so make sure you send them in. Erik makes me check for them every thursday!

i like playing with the yelling

Hey guys! You think you could hire me!? I'd love to come in and properly key your Q & Eric segment! No... seriously. Are you guys hiring? If not, I guess I can put up with Erik's webbed fingers... I guess.

hey can you guys give me some tips on how to film a musical, or music video type thing. cuz i'm having trouble doing this... yah.

ok guys i need a free or really cheap video editing software for mac that can do a cloning effect plz help! and does any 1 know if jashaka can do that?

actually a lot of the stormtrooper/clonetroopers scenes were computer generated

isnt the bloody omaha technique the same one they use for the star wars movies during the clonetrooper marches

You need to work on your green screen setup. Perhaps a bit less light on the subject, because the in first part when he is spinning in the chair, you can see green as well as parts of the chair going in and out. Also in the end ("in three months") he holds up three fingers and they look webbed. Perhaps sharper lights on the subject, softer on the background, so you get those crisp edges around the fingers and chair holes.

WOO! I was featured!!!

Is that Justin's girlfriend behind the desk too?

i love Q and Erik

hey I love your show, I was watching a video of the dark knight and was wondering how they did the whole Joker makeup to heather ledger..

You ARE cool enough to use dawg, Erik. If they still refuse, ask Bridger to allow it. His voice is Indy Law!
