well that's that

What was that, like 2 days of straight work on this one scene... good grief...

I'm out, gonna try to make sense of this and rough cut it today then fine tune it tomorrow...

That's 1 down 5 to go before this is over, but this scene was particularly difficult because it was such a pain to figure out how to get the shots to look right and what I dreaded happening actually did, I did not fully green screen myself due to the lack of equipment to keep the green screen set up high above me. So of course the result was me having to painstakingly rotoscope my head to fit the scenes as all was there was a big chunk of the sky behind me which I stupidly thought I would just let blend in with the sky as it is... no, didn't work out that way. Frame by frame, had to move the mask points to keep things somewhat decent and it still came out crap...

I'm just done with the heavy lifting. The little touch ups and fine tuning is all that's needed and maybe I can edit it cleverly enough to not even use most of the awfully green screened footage. I strive for realism with these things and when they don't work, yeah sucks...

But it was like just endless and I hated doing this shit. It will be a good gag in the final film so I'm hoping for it to work, what do I know...

Now comes the rest of the editing... I got 5 more sequences to do... They are not going to be as intense as this, that's the only good part about it. I will still be doing some flying stuff as of course static will be flying through all kinds of stuff and I hope my green screens I've captured will not look too shitty. But yunno, at least it's just a cut and paste and light it scenario. No adding other crap or attemtping to craft a shot I have no business trying to do, it's just going to be what I know is not impossible for me...


damn
