It was around midnight on Tuesday when I started this project. I got caught up with the whole valentine thing with my wife, so I had to started it later then I wanted to. I constructed this by first setting up my camera angle. I had to be sure of showing the director along with the camera operator and the actors. After I established my angle I setup up the left side of the green screen and the lighting. I then took my first shoot without me in it to create half of my background. Without moving my camera, I jumped into the director's chair and set my pose as if I was shouting out "ACTION!". My next shot was the camera operator. I set my camera to be on a ten second timer. It took me one take. After I got the director and cam operator out of the way, I had to set up the right side of the room. I moved my green screen over on the other side which was held up by a C-Stand and a Baby Stand. When moving your set, I knew not to move my lighting or else things won't match up. I took a few takes on my action shots. I wanted to make sure the ball was in the air and I had to look like I was going to catch the ball. I decided to use my Redskins clothing to create continuity and for an appealing shot. I then brought all images into photoshop and setup my layers. I started first with my background then the actors, cam op, and at last the director. I cut everything out using "Masking". As I was using the same technique to cut-out the Director, I thought to myself that their must be an easier way. I googled "how to cutout background Photoshop". I found a video tutorial on youtube using the "erase background" which is found under the erase tool. I didn't fully understand how to use the erase background tool. I kept on trying and trying and couldn't figure it out. I then crossed my legs under my desk and my foot hit the head plug, my entire computer shut down. Luckly, I had saved my project and only had to re-due one part. I ended up learning how to use the tool, it is quit easy. It ended up saving me a lot of time. I recommend learning it. I finished up around 3 in the morning. I knew I had to wake up at 7 so I decided to write this first thing in the morning in-class.
