See all Show me
This is what i achieved after 20 exhausting hours of shooting on a green screen stage in Buenos Aires, in a single day. No budget at all; just me and some friends.
I composited, did the FX and everything else later on After Effects. My good friend Colin Devlin along with Brian Byrne created the amazing soundtrack you'll hear on it.

    Interesting work... and, great green screen work...

    Question... was the helicopter 3d CG created? It appears to be video of a helicopter but it makes movements that seemed CG like... or, at least a model that was hanging from a string?

    Good work... shows lots of effort and creativity...
  • sebastian lopez plus 2 years ago
    hello joe!
    yes, the helicopter is fully CG
    thanks for the comment!

    No budget!? The money used to make the spirit should have went to you to make a feature! This is absolutely breathtaking! Makes me slap myself in the face for not attempting to learn After Effects earlier.
  • sebastian lopez plus 2 years ago
    hello kevin,
    yeah no budget at all !!! i was lucky to shoot with friends and to keep everything to a minimum,
    thanks.

    I love this! Yes, that soundtrack is great! I'm curious how many hours of post after shooting? I'm also doing a short primarily in after effects, and I'm in post now, it seems like It will never end! It sounds like you're a one man show too.

    This is pretty crazy green screen work. The editing for the most part was cut together really well with the imagery and the music, and as a result the overall pacing of the trailer was pretty great.

    Makes me really want to see more of it. Nice job.
