Hey Jophis, I roto'ed one saber from Sith-Training Clips, and posted it on my site...if you like it I'll go ahead and "sign-up" to do those three clips.

ps...I adjusted the original clips brightness and contrast to make the saber more vibrant.

What do you think?

good gallion, just remember that saber u rotoed is suppose to be green... the other guys is the red one.

and also in the final render, make sure its 720x480 and with a black background

other than that, looks good

Hey Jophis...I have completed clip One from the Sith Training folder. Here are my questions.

1. I included the contact flash, when the sabers clash..should I include sound effects?

2. About the black background issue, so you want just the roto'd sabers and flash effects? I shouldn't render it out with the footage?

Heres what the clip looks like now.

Well, my plans for a super fast-paced walk around in the dark are over.

No wait, super-slow walk... yes...


BTW, roto'ing bountyhunter_1 is a pain. I'm doing that one last.

Just to try to have a sense of organization.. I have signed up to do the sith apprentice clips...has anyone else started any of these clips?

I'm done 1.mov and 2.mov, I'm starting 3.mov now, so Ill asumme no one else is working on these clips.


Also..Jophis, I have an issue with 1.mov. At one point the Sith's saber goes behind a bush, in order to make it look like the saber was behind the bush I had to duplicate the footage, and mask the bush. Then I placed that layer on top of the saber and feathered it a bit. The result makes it look like the saber is behind the bush. Naturally sending you the just the sabers wouldn't help for that part.

I think it would make the most sense to send you the project file. (I have AE 6.0) Is that cool?

Also, here is clip 2.mov with the black background.

http://www.ryangallion.com/Sith_2.mov

How does that look?

Get back to me on the 1.mov issue, meanwhile I'll start 3.mov.

I'm doing bountyhunter 10 and 11 now, hopefully get maybe 11 done today (since it's simpler and I'd like another clip done for you soon) then get 10 done.

10 is harder because, along with all the blaster shots, and the lightsaber, and the entire length of the clip, there are reflections of the lightsaber on the walls and floor, and I'm not going to let that go without some roto'ing.

If it gets too tedious to roto the reflection, I'm masking it out.

Ah man, the refelections are there for a reason, LOL


OK, everyone put your brains together, this is now the second time where the rendered file isn't quite matching up with the original footage on my machinge, even if I use the rendered clip that you guys had to make it with. It is really weird.... the sabers will be off by a bit and not matched up..... Any Ideas?


and as far as the sith training 1 goes dude, I think the last guy that tried it, just made a cool lookin flash and made it look like the saber hit the bush. Only prob is he didnt give me a high quality version of it.

About the not synchronizing, you might be talking about bountyhunter 9, which I did.

There's a gap between when the lightsaber is there and when it appears (about two frames) because of the scene transition. I made it so that two frames into the transition, the blade isn't there, but then put it in.

Unless bountyhunter 9 is fine... is it?

Sounds like a framerate issue.
