16-03-10 - Rendering

Today i didn't do anything except render. I can't give much detail, the most i can say is that i put the computer to render the video and i just messed around with garageband and tried to make some kind of background music. The end result was far from perfect, if i have more time i can make it much better. Here is the final result:

15-03-10 - Finalizing

Today i keyed out the background and just replaced it with the backgrounds. This didn't really take much time, but what was time consuming was the fact that i had to re arrange and order it. Here is a screen shot of the before and after screen shots:

09-03-10 - Continuing the Editing

Today i got my laptop working again and just got some ideas in the first lesson. because there are a whole lot of combinations i could have used in the background, i asked my team for some ideas.In the second lesson i put those ideas to the test. I mainly made the background. The video still does need keying because i just recovered my files and so i will have to key the background. Here is a screen shot of the background i made:

08-03-10 - Helping Felix

Because we were having difficulties with the laptop, i had to help Felix with the iWeb. I helped him by giving him information and setting out the layout. I also figured out how to publish the website with drop box. Here is a screenshot of the website:

2-03-10 - Editing

Today i started to edit my video. But i couldn't get done much because my laptop ran out of charge. Today i basically keyed out my background and my laptop ran out of charge. I can't show you any screen shots because of an issue. My laptop has started to fail. The right fan had an issue and it was causing problems. It wouldn't heat the Processor as well and so it started to freeze at times. We had to send it to Apple to get fixed and we have run across a problem. It the store has the fan, the laptop might be here tomorrow and we can start to edit again. The thing is that that is the only laptop with the software to edit our videos. If the store doesn't have the parts, the laptop would be back in about some weeks, which basically means that we would be dead for the project.

01-03-10 - Filming

Today we started our filming. We set it up in the I.T room, we setup the green screen, and our camera and got straight to recording. We did run into some problems as in some of us had to go early and we just couldn't record the whole video, but i think we can just add in a voice over later on. The green screen wasn't perfect, but i can edit that properly and it does come out satisfactorily. The problem with the green screen was that the lighting wasn't ideal so there were shadows. Here is a screen shot of our RAW footage:

23-02-10 - Writing the Script Overview

Today i finished my script overview. This was basically what we needed to start our script. Now we can continue to write our script and i feel that we will finish the script in the next day and be ready to shoot in about a few days. For our script we now need to research about the technologies and write the word for word script. So far we haven't had any problems so i think we are doing good, I do predict some time issues maybe some editing issues but i believe that we will counter act them. Here is a screen shot of our overview:
