OLD PROJECT: Shapes, Masks, and Mattes

Mask Play from J.Bar on Vimeo.


I'm pretty happy with how this turned out. It's a little rough in places, but I think it looks good overall. There's probably a particle or light effect that would have made the lasers look more real, but anyone can be afraid of real lasers. I'm getting destroyed by fake, low-budget lasers. I'd be a natural for those horrible horror flicks.

I basically just created a mask that moved to where the hands were trying to hold it, then animated the lines over where the mask was existing at that point. It was pretty simple, but effective. A little time consuming since I had to animate the masks

OLD PROJECT: Matchmove/3D Motion Tracking

 I don't really like how this turned out cause I shoulda animated the propellor that is keeping him actually floating as well as having moved him away from the desk a little bit. Otherwise, I think it looks like he could actually be in that room, which is pretty cool.
