I promised I 'd share the raw footage, so here it is, in side by side comparison format. Lots of radical changes can happen during color correction.....:happy:

HAHAHA thanks man! I'm gearing up to start my push soon, just need a few more clips. I'm gonna tackle some transparent glass and liquid soon. I'll post some behind the scenes technical info soon.

I feel betrayed and cheated! Oh, and that greenscreen trick was good too.

Ok, time for some technical details....

1.) This is my first green screen footage, ever.

2.) My green screen wasn't really a green screen, it was cheap wrinkled green colored felt I had laying around.

3.) My distance between screen and subject was a little over 6 feet.

4.) I shot 10 bit and rendered out to 16 bit Tiff image sequence.

5.) All keying was done in After Effects 7.0 using Keylight.

6.) Color correction was done in After Effects 7.0

7.) The background plate is actually a still photo shot with a Nikon D70 with grain added to match the Andromeda footage.

Thats about it really, without getting into the meter readings and what not.

That's amazing. Seriously. Great work.

That is unbelievable. Wow

haha Chris, now I know why there was strange fuzzy motion blur I observed on the left edge of the pencil container as it is moved away, on first viewing. That said, a true 'I got you suckers!'. :thumbsup:

Looks fantastic.

HAHAHA! I'm still quite amazed at how well it handled. It wasn't even a really nice setup either, just crappy wrinkled green felt. Can't wait to try some very hard transparent objects and liquids.

 

[Christopher Barry]

Yeah, nice job Chris. In motion, I did not notice the edge.

When the RED camera sample frames were passed on a few months ago, you may have noticed the greenscreen and bin shot (if memory serves?), and the attempts at keying it. Not easy keying a mesh/semi-transparent with motion blur. You did a nice job and presented a great test, eliminating the preconception factor for the viewing subjects/mice.
