Ok, finally I can speak on one of our projects...It all started in the last semester, somewhere in the middle of September. We had an opportunity to participate in Adobe After Effects Workshop with Tom Weitzmann. The workshop lasted for a week and pleasingly was free of charge.
In the beginning Mr. Weitzmann showed us basics of Adobe After Effects and also results of his previous workshops with some other students all over the world. And it was planned to make our own little test video on the weekend. Unfortunately every day there were less and less people coming (probably because the class was early in the morning) so in the end there were not many of us left.
The assignment consisted of two parts - we had to film some material and afterwards edit it in Adobe After Effects showing what have we learned. To decide what to film wasn't an easy task. Finally we stopped on idea with blue screen, because everyone wanted to try the interesting technique. We planned to shoot everyone from the group on the green screen and then place in different places and sizes at university. So the final idea was that we enter the university very small and after attending it we grow very big (and full of knowledge). And, of course, as soon as we started shooting we experienced first problems - the blue screen was too small and there wasn’t enough lighting equipment available that day. We had to change our plans and instead of shooting everybody in full size we decided to shoot separately upper and lower parts of the body and join them in editing. But even that didn't work too well, but as we didn't have any choice we had to deal with what we had. We shot all the material in about 3 hours and finished editing the next day.
