Day 3/4 What I did today! firstly started off with a trip to the studio I would use for VFX project this will be Friday, it was vary spacious and the crew there were very welcoming. I had originally done a 8week long work experience there as a student. and a few of the Staff remembered me. this was my first ever step into a studio and first time in front of a camera at Radio/TV Rotorua. the day followed up by finishing all my initial editing on premier pro as I had technical issues with syncing 2 of the footage I wanted to use.  Side note Cam A was not very focused or focused on the table than the Talent, this limited most of my shot selections I could use from that angle....but its all about problem solving as Dan's voice would say...in my head LOL however we got to a good flow and most of the base editing is done. I'll aim to finish the VFX in After Effects tonight and submit tomorrow. the rest of the footage consists of B-roll from the shoulder mount.

 Day 2 Multi Cam edit Table Tennis Today I organised my workspace, imported all assets to premier and created a mini mind map of how I would want the edit to go. just a rough idea i found the footage had a few things missing and honestly looked a bit bare haha i guess that's the thing about live recordings. I looked into other means of making the overall finished video look amazing things such as titles, effects eg headers slide into frame.... I could use in the video. Few things I found from this shoot, the camera angles where a bit tight, probably cause it was raining  but something of note this did give off a feel as though a POV in some shots and definitely felt like we in the game. we did struggle a bit with the pacing, such as how much the wally dolly would move and how much we would have in shot but overall a lot to work with. Jack did an excellent job in the end capturing B-roll at with the shoulder mount, which i look forward to editing. i had a quick look for some re...

Day 1 Organizing and researching for VFX project I managed to find all the assets id need in footage Create, some looping dust spreads and winds. I also looked into lightening VFX, ill predominantly look to make my own but add some of the ones I found in as well. Ideally id like to learn how to make my own but granted that I don't have enough time to make it this time around id use the ones I found on FC . I also looked in to atmosphere and some basic sound design for the lightning sounds, I was considering having a background theme song playing when doing the action scenes so will look more into that as I finalizing preprod Lastly I looked into Green Screening and set ups. this video was really helpful in terms of knowing what could go wrong, do's and don'ts as well as proper way to set up.  the main take away from this was  1) making sure the set up is light balanced 2) preplanning all my moves (in terms of space) im sure there's more too!
