GETTING FOOTAGE
Think of where you plan to put your mini person. ( Sitting on top of your monitor, walking on the table, on your hand, etc). Be creative! (Note: It’ll be easier if the mini person doesn’t have to climb over objects- keep it simple)
Go to your scene location. Set up the camera on the tripod. Adjust the zoom on the camera so that all of your subject can be seen and you have room for the mini person to be added later.
VIDEO EDITING
FINAL TOUCHES
ADVANCED STEP
Add music in background, and sound effects
Use color correction to make the footage more convincing
GETTING FOOTAGE
Think of where you plan to put your mini person. ( Sitting on top of your monitor, walking on the table, on your hand, etc). Be creative! (Note: It’ll be easier if the mini person doesn’t have to climb over objects- keep it simple)
Go to your scene location. Set up the camera on the tripod. Adjust the zoom on the camera so that all of your subject can be seen and you have room for the mini person to be added later.
- Film the scene; any big people in the scene must use their imagination and pretend they can see the mini person.
- Stop recording.
- Go to the green screen.
- Set up the camera on the tripod. Remember to use an angle that will work with your other footage.
- Record the mini person actor doing whatever they need to do in the scene. (you can use other green object like stools if you need to)
- Stop recording
- Put the video clips on your computer
VIDEO EDITING
- Open Sony Vegas
- Import the media clips
- Trim off parts of your location footage that you don’t need.
- Edit the green scene footage. Use Chromakey to get rid of the green parts. (See Chromakey tutorial).
- If need be, mask out any other parts that shouldn’t be seen in the final video.
- Put the location scene on the timeline
- Add a video track (or use overlay track) for the green screen part
- Pan and Zoom the footage of the mini person to fit the scene.
- You may need to add tracking to keep the mini person in line with the scene.·
FINAL TOUCHES
- Add a title to your clip at the beginning and include your names (see “How to add Titles” )Add
- Render your final movie and same it as “Mini-me + your name”
