So, currently working on the Measure of a Man Music Vid. I’ve done four or five shots so far and it’s going OK.  The chroma key shots are coming out fairly well.  I did have abit of a problem with the ammo clip on the gatling gun which I’d absent-mindedly painted green.  Because of this it was turning transparent once the chroma key filter had been applied.  I ended up painting it black, but you can still see through it in a few shots!

Other than that had a minor disaster when the robot puppet took a nose dive off the table halfway through animating a shot!  It broke into a few pieces but was luckily easy enough to fix.  Gave me a heart attack though!

Some shots are unfortunately requiring me to go through them frame by frame in order to incorporate some of the robot shots.  As you may imagine this is rather time consuming (the current shot has 64 frames for example).  Hopefully it’ll be worth it!

Here’s a short trailer I’ve done for the video which incorporates some of the shots I’ve done so far.

I’ve decided that the interior shots will all be black and white while the exterior shots will be in colour.  This is partly to try and differentiate between the band and robot shots, and also to make the video look slightly more stylistic.  It also means I can have some cool shots where the band are in black and white and the robot is in colour.
