Advanced Compositing, Visual Effects Shot Week 1

This summer in my Advanced Compositing Class we will be spending the entire summer creating one really big hardcore [hopefully] photo real visual effects shot.  I am looking to create a first person action shot, very much in the style of the Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare trailer, which you can find by clicking here.

This first week was our green screen shoot.  We shot on the Red One on the green screen stage at Florida State University.  Check out some shots from my shoot!

It starts with the morning meeting.

Victoria looking inquisitive and Ron being awesome.

Here are some stills from shooting the plates for my shot, starring Collin as a hardcore looking tactical soldier guy:

And here are some stills from other students' shots, including Collin again wearing parts a home made Halo Spartan costume!  (Made by the incredibly talented Turner Sinopoli.)

And I took some creative liberties and went ahead and used one of these stills to promote my latest feature: "Halo: Lockett"

This will be my greatest work.

I'll be sure to be posting regularly as these shots progress!  Partly because I am required to, and secondly because I enjoy posting these blogs.  Until next time.
