screen grabbing from hell

so yeh... been grabbing screens from the films for pre-production... but by god with a 720 version of the film the film quality is so grainy but i guess thats what the filming was like back when this was filmed....

arr well hopefully these will be good enough for my project...


ALSO FOUND THIS made me LOLOLOLOL

been working out my layout for my pictures...

finally finished the way i want it too look with the camera rolling clockwise starting from top left... all the way around then zoom out and the MIDDLE FRAME (back 2 Future) drops in from top right through camera and then the text animated onto it then zoom into the centre point of the e the middle gap and then the film will start from there...

been blog storming

okay so i've been working over somethings on back to the future blog, been working in after effects and focusing on how id like to go about my project....

im going to be doing alot in 3ds max... going to be working it as a wall of photoframes, and working things into it that way...

so for my cast that i will introduce therte will be 6 characters...

1 - Christopher Lloyd - Dr Emmett Brown

2 - Micheal J. Fox - Marty McFly

3 - Claudia Wells - Jennifer Parker

4 - Crispin Glover - George McFly

5 - Lea Thompson - Lorraine Baines (marty's mum from the past before she met george DONT FORGET THAT ANT ITS IMPORTANT YOU GET THE RIGHT SCREEN GRABS)

6 - Thomas F. Wilson - Biff Tannen (Hey McFly your shoe's are untied.... LOLOLOLOLOL)

Working on my wall layout in photoshop.... gonna be spending all day in the studios at uni making basic frames to somehow green screen some pics in will have to speak to big M about figuring out how to replace the picture i think ive seen a tutorial will have to find it.

throwing photo's

this is another idea i wouldn't mind pushing on....

the throwing photos look obviously could even be videos and then place them... on a wall with the name of the character he/her plays and the name of the actor/actress in bigger letters underneath...



another version of this effect



i forgot about this advert till now... i remembered how nice the transition worked ... wouldnt mind using some aspect of this effect into my style...

Figuring out stuff...

Had a few ideas since my last lesson,

i thought of 80's style picture frames in z space with animated text under the characters picture... and bring the intro in that way then flame it up with the car flames at the end... but creating this sort of concept confuses me...

i've thought of creating the frames in after effects using 3D layers and layering them up... and having complete control over them in comps and neatening work flow...

or i've thought off modelling frames in 3Ds max and importing them into after effects. I've started tweaking with this ideas as i'm not so confident working with after effects yet, I've been watching a lot of After Effects introductions on youtube... but they all seem very generic like they've used plugins... weather thats aloud or not for this brief is a different mater i wanted to be proud of doing something from scratch.

these are a few ideas i wouldn't mind pushing on for this brief...

filmstrip idea... pictures of the character with text going along introducing the actor...

Photowall... but have them all start off in line then explode through Z space... and have camera pan through it with like stars and sciency back to the future stuff... like flux capacitor and what not... might need help with this one...

mix between photowall and this

THIS IS IT!!! this is the 80's zspace fly through style i was looking for.... now how to figure out how to make it

Outdated.... or Current...

New James Bond

Comparing the old bonds to the new bonds introduction, there is so much we can do in this time era compared to the old days when bond came around first... but as you can see it really experiments with ZSPACE and camera angles... it even starts off with the original bonds but from the opposite so you can see the trail of the bullet...

PERSONALLY - there far too long... but they fit the music well.
