Homework for Tues (2/10)

At the start of next class, have your clone project edited and ready to be exported. You also need to have footage shot for the next project.

The next project is a project where you'll be using motion tracking to stick text into an environment, so that the text has a sense of "camera shake," as if it's embedded in the scene that's being captured.

Instead of doing one shot with one title, I want you to film an entire  sentence. The sentence must be at least five words long (and think of marrying each word to a separate shot - so that the whole sequence should be at least five shots long). You'll be creating a sentence, word by word and shot by shot – but also think of the "visual sentence" you'll be building, image by image.

For Tuesday's class, come to class with the footage for those five (or more) shots done. We'll composite the text elements in class.

Because you'll be integrating text into your shots, you'll want to plan a bit beforehand - so that you have room in the shots for the text to fit, without crowding out elements of the shot, or making the shot feel unbalanced.


 Here is that clone video Nick Cahill passed my way last time I taught this class:
