Special Effects

  • This page is where I use Special Effects to create videos with an interesting touch?

「 Poof! 」

In this video, I learned how to do a disappear and reappear effect. I did this all in one shot. It was pretty fun to make, but matching the audio to the disappear and reappear was somewhat difficult for me. But I used Final Cut Pro in this.

「 Flo on Water 」

I edited this video with a green screen shot and a picture background. I used sounds from a channel called AR Sound Effects (copyright free sound). I also used keying and color correction to fit Flo on the video more.

「 Darcy Intrudes on a Scene 」

We shot this scene first in front of a green screen, but it's kind of bad because the screen screen wasn't the best to work with, so Darcy kind of cut off and I couldn't edit the bad bits off. But afterwards I put her in front of a picture and added sound effects, i didn't add a song in the background this time.

「 Weird attempt on making an 'intro' 」

I don't really know what I did with my name here, but I like the colors that I used. (now it says I spelled it wrong but I don't think it's wrong?) I will try and make another one at another time.

「 Obiwan Break Down Shot 」

This might not be the best in terms of the light sabers (they were really difficult bc I couldn't see which way it was pointing). But I think I did an alright job. Editing the sound in was somewhat difficult because the clip was so short and I had to somehow make it sound.. presentable? I've never seen any sort of Star Wars movie so, this was a little new to me.

「 Macbeth Quote 」

I used Adobe After Effects to create the base video (just the quote itself). And to make it transparent I changed it from RGB to RGB + Alpha, which cutes out everything but the lyrics I wanted. Ashley was able to help me do the voice over because I didn't want to use my own voice. I added a gif in the background to give it.. a bit of... I don't know what kind of feel.

「 Motion Tracking 」

In this project I used Adobe After Effects and also a video clip of the school. I made several layers, the first thing I did was making a null layer. And then I added an animation effect with a motion tracking effect? That was quite tedious to do but I managed to do it. And then I added text to go along with the motion by parenting it with the null layer. But I had to add the motion tracking to the null layer. And then I added an adjustment layer with a photo filter & motion blur to the text to match the motion of the video.

「 Motion Tracking Pt.2 」

I used Motion Tacking like the previous video, but this time I used a setting that was called Corner Pins. And I used that to motion track the screen and places a photo into it like the text.
