Finally!

I'm going to be keep working on this because it's something i really enjoyed making this and the entire process. i want to do a lot more with this.

or not.

i guess it didnt work. so im uploading it to youtube and ill put the link up when its done.

Final Video

here's the video. i have the original on my computer.

Test

I need a test to see how the painting a person red and then green screening would work. these are the results. i ended up changing my idea of having the subject outdoors because it did not work properly. indoors in front of a white wall or sitting on chair worked best.
1. This is the first initial picture with nothing done to it.

2. This is after using the chroma keyer to remove the hand from the shot.

3. And this is with the new background picture.

I have about 2 minutes of the actual video done. I'm working on editing it together and will show a piece when it is complete.

New Video Project

I'm going to be using the same idea of green screen but i'll be do it in reverse. If that doesn't make sense, that is why I'm going to explain! Instead of shooting an object or person in front of a green screen I'm going to shoot a person in normal time with no green screen, but I'm going to be making them the green screen. I'm going to be painting people red (considering most things outside are green) and shooting them moving then editing out their body so there will be a hole were they were. I'm doing a few tests with photographs and will post them within the week to see how it works. Instead of a music video I'm going to make a short movie.

PERKS THAT COME WITH USING THE VIEW CAMERA!

LARGE FORMAT- Superior Technical quality. Truly remarkable detail and depth of field.

IMAGE CONTROL- Very adjustable and versatile with its bellows, slides, swings and tilts. Significantly more compromisable than any hand held camera.

A DIFFERENT WAY OF SEEING- Because the camera is stationary and not mobile, it lends itself to a more thoughtful and contemplative way of approaching the capturing of the image.

ALL ABOUT THE VIEW CAMERA

SO, as we already know, although the view camera was first developed in the era of the Daguerreotype, its still used today by many photographers.
Before i go into that i want to talk about the actual mechanics thatmake up the view camera, here is a pretty crappy image of it:

The reason I say this image is crappy, is because it does not point out the most important component of the view camera, which is the flexible bellows, which forms a light-tight seal between the ground glass which holds the film and the front standard which holds the lens. The bellows , shaped like the inside of an accordion, and likewise has the ability to flex in order to accommodate the movements of the standards.

The Front standard holds the lens, the shutter and the cable.
The other end holds the ground glass, which is used for for focusing and composing the image before exposure, where the holder containing the light sensitive film or paper is placed.

Lastly the camera must have some means of support, thus it is usually mounted on a tripod, as shown in the picture.
