I Love Sarah Jane – A Trailer
Posted in Compositing, tagged Compositing, Film, Movies, Sundance, Trailer on May 6, 2008 | 2 Comments »
This 30 second demo trailer is the result of an ongoing research project centered on capturing and juxtaposing cinematic moments.

Digital compositing is a great expressive process for integrating multiple elements, often independent and from different sources, to form a seamless integrated scene. Marco Paolini said, “At the end of the day, it is not what you did, but how it looks.” Well, he is half right. Looks are 90% of the shot, but the other 90% is the how. Without reproducible techniques and systematic workflows, composition becomes a matter of luck and happenstance. Magic Dust Writer, based on the creative talent of cmiVFS and Steve Wright, is an example of a greenscreen key workflow process that produces great visual results, time and again. Check it out…
