Q & Erik: Text, Chroma Keying and Making Arm Fangs

you could also use sepia on camera and turn off lights

for the night vision you can just shoot your scene in day and edit it in after effects with the night vision preset and explosions make a great movie for me

Hey eric I don't know if it's too late for asking questions on Q and Eric for this week, but would you guys know a cheap easy way I could get or make a soft light attachment or something on the light set you showed us how to make, or if there is a cheap kit I could find for a soft light, light. and I think that is what it is called for giving people that very SOFT look to their skin. so yeah...

lol *whispers* im stealing your ideas *whispers*

Quick question about the night vision, how would you make it the clip shaped like binoculars. Like the clip being shaded black on the edges.

great tips dude! glad your eye's better.

Isn't there supposed to be a new episode today????

hi erik! glad your eye is better

thanx for the answer guys!!!

Buy the way if you key out the green screen AND the skin tone it make a really amazing goast effect. (Also put the opacity down a bit)

I'm sorry... but does it get annoying answering n00b guestions for the 1st half of the video.. He thought that mini-DV was VHS.... and how to put text on a video??? Even Windows Movie Maker can do that.....

OMG!!! i was on a viewer voicemail!!!! the first one!!

Hey Erik. I was wanting to buy a new camcorder, but I really can't spend much money right now; I'm trying to pay for college. One of my friends has a cheap older mini dv camcorder, but he doesn't know anything about it. Is there a website or book that can give me info on older camcorders?

Too achieve the night vision look, shoot during the day when it is bright then in your effects program or some nle's you Invert the picture add noise and green ambient color. Its pretty convincing.

Hey Erik, You may want to take in consideration that a lot of folks are trying to edit on their windows systems. Unfortunately most Windows boxes don't have firewire ports. So Evan may not be able to just plug in. There is hope though for folks who don't have firewire, but it'll cost money, desktops folks can get a add on card for 15-50 bucks, and laptops with PCMICIA can add firewire for 30-80 bucks. Just thought it might be good for folks to know for those stuck with a PC with no firewire.

Really like the new intro guys! Nice to see from the forums back again!

Great show, loved it ;)

This episode was pretty cool. I can't wait to film my trailer.

Is it just me or did they change the front of the death ray?

This was my fav Q and Erik so far, love the new intro!

thanks but i wanted to know what to make them out of

I got on....I am the first 10 second clip!

I like the new intro!

whoo first
