A short promotional film for Gateacre’s new school that is currently being built. The school will be open from September 2011 and the film is being used for marketing purposes. Evolve Productions approached the Hatch and Re-thunk to collaborate on the film.
The film was shot on a Sony HDV Z1 camera and edited in Final Cut Pro. The CGI and greenscreen footage was then comped in After Effects. The final edit was taken back into FCPro for final tweaking and then finally sent to Color for grading.
Have been really busy with the BBC the last month working with Milky Tea on the production of a CBeebies’ pilot. We shot the pilot over two days in a converted barn down in Hemel Hempstead. It was a fab couple of days and I will post a bit later once we have got going on the project. In the meantime, here are a few shots from the shoot. It was a completely green screen shoot and was shot on DV Cam. Bit of a shame really as i was trying to convince the Beeb to shoot on HD progressive …. but the budget didn’t allow the extra cost for the pilot. Dave the camera man did a class job of filming and DOP’ing. Again, at a later date I will give a detailed breakdown of the shoot and how he lit the event.
Just throwing a few things together regarding Greenscreen shoots. I have always used Keylight in After Effects and find their Training manual a good little read into the art of Keying. (Keylight1.0v4)
