Avatar Opening

The goal of this project was to create a short video using SFX, green screen, and maya. We worked in groups and started out by coming up with the idea to kind of recreate the avatar intro, then we made a storyboard for it. After that we filmed each of our actions in front of a green screen and recorded the voice over for it. Then we edited our own parts in AffterEffects.

I edited the green screen by using color keys and a simple choker to get rid of the it and put in an image. I made myself a silhouette by making the brightness and contrast 0 on the video, which is something new I learned. I also learned about collaboration and how it can make a big project a lot easier. 

After I had all the green screen and silhouette work done I added in some dust SFXs for the air. I think it looks pretty good but I would have tried to do better on the movement of the wind, if I did it again, because it looks a little off. But overall I liked how it turned out and would keep pretty much everything else the same because it looks good.

I think this project helped me work on my green screen skills and learn how to make a silhouette. And even though I won't be in animation next year this project helped me learn about collaboration which will be helpful. Overall I liked this project and had fun doing it and if I did it again I would work on the movement of the wind but keep everything else the same.
