Making Movies!
Today I spent the better part of the day in my drive way shooting footage for a project. I needed some green screen footage with my glider in the shot. Here is a quick time lapse video of the project:

1 picture ever 60 seconds for a few hours.
It was fun to watch the cars slow down and see the confused looks on people's faces as they dove by.
Shooting good quality green screen footage is pretty tough. It was especially hard in this case because there are many reflective objects in the frame (laptop, sunglasses, control frame, helmet.) All these things reflect the green light from the screen and that makes them appear green in the final footage. That means they will want to key out along with the back ground.
This is for another youtube video contest and I am pretty excited about this one. I have been able to use some cool movie making techniques I found online that don't usually apply to the standard HG video. I should be finished in the next couple of days.
