Old School Car Chase with New School FX -5 second stop motion animation
This is my second practice for my upcoming 4 minute feature of stop motion adventure. I've just realised I'll need about 5400 images. Even my Just Cause 2 ...
1964 A/FX Comet CHRR 2008 still bolting parts on. last minute arrival. Rocky Mountain Rolling Thunder Drag Team. Big stick at the wheel, "Fast eddie" wrench ...
Awesome Comet. I own an original A/FX Comet. The Don Reider/ George Weiler
Car. I have all the VIN's of the 20 made. I love 1964 Comets. They are the
most beautiful cars EVER made!!!! Your's is gorgeous.
This shows 2 methods for faking a person being hit by a car. One uses Adobe Photoshop and editing software, requiring time & effort to add realistic detail.
Great tutorial! There a couple more tweeks to add to make this look even
better. First, adding a blur effect in Photoshop to the cut out subject
still frame to simulate motion blur. Second, would be taking a still of the
very last frame of the truck right before it hits, & painting on a little
blood splatter on the truck/ground. You dont even need Premier of After
Effects for this. You can use just about any video editor & any paint
program that allows you to do transparency to cut stuff out.
I have to laugh at some of these ridiculous comments, these are some fab
tips for amateur film makers and at the very least gives some great ideas.
Yet looking at some of these comments it seems people expect Steven
Spielberg type special effects. What makes me laugh is that most of the
comments are from idiots who have never even uploaded a video of their own.
Nice work guys, keep up the excellent videos. Ignore the users who only
seem intent on logging in & slagging off other users videos.
We do not produce content about Windows Movie Maker. In our view, it is too
low-end and limited in its features. Starting around $100 you can choose
from several excellent programs out there that are perfect for
videographers just starting out. A link to our most recent Software Buyer's
Guide has been posted in the description for this clip (top right). We
strongly suggest you consider upgrading to a more powerful program, you
won't regret it! Good luck!
Another great tip using compressed perspective. Another way to do the first
take, and perhaps yield more realistic results, would be using a stunt
dummy hit by the truck in the second footage - of course, you want the
cooperation of the driver :-) The dummy will bounce off more realistically
and flay like a real person. Just cut from the perosn footage to the dummy
footage, and no one will notice.
Yes, it would make a difference, since Photoshop is better at masking.
However, the subject is only visible for a few frames, so if you just do
some blur on it, Premiere would be fine. I would definitely use Premiere
for something as simple as this, but that doesn't mean that Photoshop still
would do a slightly better job.
Erfa90: if you shoot this in HD you have a lot less room for "fudging". And
even in SD, blurring doesn't fool anyone and your FX ends up looking cheap.
Since the footage of the actor "flying off" is only a few frames, I'd take
the time to film him in motion (like flaying his arms) and masking each
frame in Photoshop.
I am using sony vegas 7, and when i drag the picture off the screen( to
mimic person getting hit) it goes further then the video. Like it is
dragged into some of the black parts after the video footage border ends.
In the Vegas video preview box this is not a problem. Wondering if you
could help.
It looks cool! However I would use a different reaction because it looks a
little fake. For example at 2:23 you bend over before the truck even hits
you, so as a result it looks a little off. But other than that it looks
good! ^^
@bouchandre Well after effects is good for special effects but not really
standard editing as its quite a demanding program so sony vegas makes a
good standard editing one. Or premier if you want
AWESOME! Thanks guys :D Nearly finished my masterpiece. I was just
wondering if in the keyframe process, you could gradually make the person
shrink as he gets further away from the camera?
what the heck?!?! You dont need to use photoshop for anything here. the
could just use a still frame and masking, which can all be done in
premiere!!!!!!!!!
Any suggestions on what kind of foley to use to get that *thud* for when
the car hits the person, videomaker?
Car Takeoff Sound Effect Fx
I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR THIS FOR AGES AND AGES! And just like the Record Scratch sound effect I have to share it on Youtube. I guess Billions of people ...
