Home Run Inn Video Contest

I finally finished the Home Run Inn video I was working on, I added another scene of us chowing down on the pizza after it had attacked us in the car, I think it turned out much better than before. After he saw the draft of the video, Paul suggested that there wasn't a conclusion which led to the extra scene of us eating the pizza.

Considering it was directed, filmed, acted, edited and finalized by me (with the help of my wife's acting) I am very satisfied with it. We used a lot of green screen over the windows of the car and I learned something about using green screen; When using green screen up close, it is best to not have a lot of light due to the fact that the green material will wash out the scene with green which will look weird when it's keyed out. The scenes from the side of the car had the right side windows blotted with green screen but that side was in the shade which gave me a dark, unlit green screen, but it was enough green to be keyed out easily and didn't affect the rest of the scene.

So, when using shooting on a green screen, don't always assume that you need a lot of light in order to key out the green screen. Depending on the distances of the object from the green screen and the scene in general, sometimes no external luminance is needed at all. In a scene in which you must use a light where no natural light is available, try indirect luminance by illuminating away at the rest of the room to produce reflective lighting.
