Keekat in the band video

[gsellis]

I wanted something different in our band video. There was a piece in the talent show that was not G rated. I wanted to remove it and have fun with it. So, I exported a screen shot, put it in as a rotoscope, added Keekat, and did a voice over (Sound Forge 7 with pitch change).

 

It took a little to get the render settings to work. No shadow yet, but it is not that important on the floor. Thought I would share.

 

Attached is a wmv in a zip.

Well it looks like Keekat fits in the scene (except of the lack of shadow).

 

Not sure what level of skills you have but I think the aniamtion of th ehand is a little slow. Rather than having keekat just appear - have him flash in from one side (big jump or fast run with appropriate follow through) have him a little furhter forward in the scene, have him glance back at what was going on, perhaps animate some embarrassment in his cheeks (expression and colour) then go with the voice/dialogue.

 

Just some thoughts...

 

Cheers

Thanks David.

 

This is my first attempt at a project. I am still working through some of the tutorials and materials and bones are next (another project for another video.) I like your suggestions. I can fix the hand, but I won't have time to add more. But, I had a 'Star Trek' beam out last year, so a fade it will meet expectations. Just adding an animation will exceed what they are expecting

 

If I had the time and money, the camera tracking software (the Hunter examples) would be good and I could add it over the action. But, I need to try to finish the video by the end of the month and I am at tape 12 of 14 and do not have the rough cut pieced together In fact, I keep messing with the models for the next video for the end of the summer and I need to STOP and focus.
