greenscreen work (editted)

here is another clip i made using the imovie software and green-screen stock footage. i have used my clip to give the illusion that i am space as you can see by the video below as well as using copyright free space sounds from the imovie software.

Green Screen (my feedback)

although i did enjoy using the green i don't think its practical with the type of trailer i want to create as i feel it looks to artificial and imposed however i may try it out first with my trailer as a test to try my theory out before i completely right it off as option when creating my movie trailer.

green screen clips

when using the green screen we played around with different angles and ways to film it aswell as using a green screen mat to do more eperiments with it over a chair or on the floor to create a floor .

here are some of the results of our experiment with the green screen.

i have used the ink dropping videos as inspiration when creating my background as i think it looks good and in a way looks like blood which i think fits well with this video.

Green screen work (results)

here are some of the photos and clips i was able to create using the green screen although these don't relate to what i want to do i think that its a good start with my green screen work as it helps me learn from my mistakes as this is first time using green screen they aren't perfect. these are the unedited clips which i am going to edit in a later post.
