Week 1, Day 3 of Studio project. The lack of sleep is killing me. I had been in school for 12 hours straight with the lack of quality food and the insanity is killing me slowly.... very..very.. slowly...
For today, I spent most of my time assisting in the shoot with the group. I wasnt an actor thus I had to assist in holding the green screen and moving it where the actor moves. It was really tiring. My group and I had to re shoot several times to make perfect the shot. In total, we had to do a total of three re-shoots for both shots.
There were several problems we faced today. The first was that the actor in the two shots weren't synchronized. So transitioning between the two clips weren't possible. In the second shot, the green screen wasn't big enough to fill the entire character's movements and actions.Therefore, I had to manually move the green screen whereever the actor goes. It was afterall, with the help of Mr.Pang and Mr. Leong that we were able to go in the right direction, if not a lot of rotoscoping would be needed. Moreover, I had learn that film cameras werent always reliable and dependable to a certain extent. Barrel distortions are visible, especially in the second shot. and the exposure was not clearly shown in the camera preview, resulting a second reshoot.
In conclusion, today was a really tiring day due to the amount of re-shoots we had to do, but it was indeed productive.
