Could have probably done it with just a flickering light, but I don't think that would have got the sense of movement.... or maybe I'm just too fussy.

Thanks Ziggy, yeah, the lighting is the trick to creating realism. In the bus scene I had a moving backdrop casting shadows on the characters to simulate the moving light from outside the bus, then it slows and stops as the bus does. But the masking is the hard work: frame-by-bleeding-frame!!


VERY CLEVER stuff you're doing! I notice you even lined up the shadows to match the length and direction of the real shadows in your video! GREAT attention to detail!

Please say more about the backdrop casting shadows in the bus... I'm not sure I understand what you did there....

Very creative.

I specially like the idea of using a (simulated) "handheld" camera in your films (quite distinct in No 2).

It tricks the viewers perception of what is going on - thereby adding very much "realism" to the final film.

It really shows that the cameraman is standing there recording the Muvizu characters as an integrated part of the real world...

Great!

PS: One question: Which format/codec do you use for getting the Muvizu video into Vegas ? Lagarith with full HD ?

I would never have noticed that in a million years... but I'm very impressed that your experience with the software enabled you to notice it immediately, and understand exactly what you were noticing. At BEST, I MIGHT have thought "Hmmm, something I like about this, but I can't define what it is..."]]> Sun, 03 Apr 2016 15:37:09 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic5625-nuts-amok-3.aspx Message from ziggy72 ]]> Sun, 03 Apr 2016 15:27:02 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic5625-nuts-amok-3.aspx Message from ritsmer

My only disappointment is that it was only 2 minutes long! I was ready to watch longer!]]> Sun, 03 Apr 2016 07:09:22 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic5625-nuts-amok-3.aspx Message from emergencysquirrel
