Minority Report VFX Stop Motion

This is a video I made for the Taiwan Business tour promotion purpose,
the idea comes from the movie Minority Report, I spend 3 days in total for the
making of this video, please see the video as below:

The Doll I choose to use this time is Black widow from Iron man movie, this is the most
beautiful girl face doll that you can find in the market of 12 inch dolls.

Below is the stage that I use to film this video, on top of my desk.

Comparison of the shoots, original and with green screen, this video was mostly made
in front of green screen, some scenes the green screen was not good because the green
screen was to near the doll and in some places the light was too strong, I will need to
improve next time about this problem.

Here are some runners effects I made for this video, first make the runners,
then apply to the video in after effects.

Some scenes of this video that I like the most. 

Software used in this video:


Corel video studio pro
Paint shop photo
After effects
Premiere
Morpth

Well, hope you guys like this video, and will be back to you next time with transformers stop
motion.

Assasin Creed Stop Motion

This is a video made for Machinima for the promotion of the Game Assasin Creed,
this is the first video I made with 12 inch toys, these are really detail figures from Hot toys company,
they are beatiful with good articulation, but its not easy to film, they are very heavy and usually falls, could not stand well to film.

Please check the video as below :

Below is the filming scene of this video, blue posters plus some artificial plant decoration.

The toys are very loose in the articulation due to the heave body

The move of the cape in the wind is actually holding by hand

The real look of the bloody hand before After effects

The red part of the broken hand is made with red paper

Some of the video scene that I like the most

Well, here is some of the behind the scene of this video, hope you guys like it,

The Sexy Killer and some behind the scene pictures

My new real life video, the purpose is to test slow motion scenes and try to do some more
realistic effects, new camera movements and angles.
I want to thanks to Nikon for the sponsor of D5100 camera and also thanks
to Beatube for the support of the girl.

Here are some pictures for the video.

Software used in this video:

Adobe after effects
Adobe premiere
Corel video studio pro
Morph

I know this video is not good, as I just start to learn real life videos, I expect to spend another
1 year to learn everything about real life videos, just the same effort as I do for stop motions
which I also spend around 2 year to learn and still today I am learning it, making films is
a very very long business, there is no limit for learning, there is always new things to explore.

Please leave your comments or suggestions for this video.

Thanks and see you guys on next video.

Street Fighter Stop motion - Ryu VS Ken behind the scene

Hello Everyone, I just finished my new stop motion video of Street fighter, will be showing up 

first in Machinima channel, and I will upload to my channel after a week of the machinima. 

Well, lets see the video first:

I want to thanks to Nikon camera for supporting me a lot in this new video.
And here is how the entire scene looks like, I use Taiwanese handwriting paper
as the background, and hang it with the metal closet bone.

                  The background using Taiwanese letter papers.

The artificial grass

                                  The book on the table is put the camera and make it able
                                   to move all around the table.   
                                 

 

The Nikon D5100 camera I use this time for filming 

                                        I use clay in this video to stablelize the toys figures

                           The hands of the toys actually is very fragile, so I got to use clay also
                                       in the articulation.

                 I use photoshop to get rid of the hands in the picture, check the difference between
                               the two pictures.

                  Some of the scenes in the video that I like:

 

 

 

In this video, about the color grading, I make high contrast, 10%blue and 5% green,
reduce color 10%.

Software used:

Corel video studio
Adobe premiere

Adobe After effects

Cinema 4D

Well, this is all the behind the scenes of this video, thanks everyone for watching,
and see you next time on next stop motion.
