Hi there, I'm Rollie.
Today we're going to
be looking at visual effects.
The effects that we're going to be looking at in
this module,
are jump cuts,
green screen
and keying technology
and layering in
masking.
Alright let's get started!
(Clicks fingers...turns around)
This is the wrong spot, let's try that
again.
(Clicks fingers)
That's better.
So that was called a jump cut
and by using a signifying event, like clicking my
fingers,
it allows me to change locations
or even my clothes, just like this.
(Clicks fingers)
Much better!
You might have noticed that I'm standing on a green screen.
Now this
allows me to edit out the background or
anything else that is green.
This effect
is called keying
and it can give the illusion
that I'm filming in a totally
different location.
I can take you on a tour of my...
summer home!
(Clicks fingers)
And here we are!
And look at that, we just used green screen technology
in conjunction with
jump cuts but remember when you change
locations take everything with you
because... oh my God! My arm's missing!
But don't worry! Okay?
I'm just kidding you. This is just a trick
using green screen technology and
some really, really simple green cloth.
Okay? Really easy to do.
Using green
screen technology can actually make
a really short work of layering
and can
help you do some really kind of fun
and wacky effects. Like pretending you're a
twin or a clone.
"But, I'm not a clone."
"Are you sure?" (Clicks finger)
"Wait, wait what's happening?"
"Hold on Rollie, I don't feel so good, no, no, no...!"
Geez, talk about an overreaction.
It's time to
get into the nitty-gritty of actually
putting these effects into your movies.
I'll see you there! (Clicks fingers)
