iPod Commercial and iMovie HD

[Mr. Durden]

Im using the DVX100AP for my commercial im making for school, it has to be a mp3 player commercial. So we are doing a "Saw (the movie)" iPod commercials. Sounds strange I know. Anyways i'm looking to make the whole dancing iPod look, but I don't have the time to edit each frame. I'm working with iMovie, is there a plug in or something that can help me achieve the effect?

Also, how do I add the .sit (plug in) file to iMovie HD?

 

[Sirius_Doggy]

ahh yes... You're looking for the "iSaw" plug-in aren't you????:grin:

 

[Mr. Durden]

AHahah oh course. But seriously is there an easier way?

 

[Sirius_Doggy]

I was just being a smarta$$. I'm not really sure what effect you are looking for.

 

[Mr. Durden]

Would you happen to know how to add plug -ins into iMovie?

 

[Sirius_Doggy]

no sorry, I'm a PC guy.

 

[Mr. Durden]

Damn

u mean...make the people like all black and have the ipod stick out bright white?

you dont have to go frame by frame.

first..you need to film infront of a green screen...and have super good lighting.

Which ever NLE you use....go to the color correcting/brightness/levels and stuff preset fx you have....drop it on the clip....chroma key out the green screen and stuff..then add the effect and mess around with the levels and gains sliders.

P.S. There arent any plugins applicable with iMovie, upgrade man, go to final cut, bootleg it if you must.

Do you mean like in the last half of that?

It's pretty easy in After Effects. If you want to do it in iMovie, it's basically impossible, though.

this one looks good...use a solid color background and you should be able to color in the person...give it a try...no need to steal FCP

here are some others that may need more tweaking
