Male: Hey everyone, welcome to the April edition of Your Effects. Last month’s episode was so bad ass, it got over a 100,000 views. Man, if I keep this up, I can retire. Yeah! As always, this show brings you the best tutorials and effects clips sent in by you, the Indy Mogul audience. Let's kick it off with the Padtech, who’s showing us how to recreate this scene—from Batman for cheap.
Padtech’s quick tip.
Male: Okay, this is very simple to do. First, take some blue tack and place it on the surface so the pencil will stick to the surface. Now, film a shot for about 10 seconds of the chosen pencil. Now, film the shot view hitting your head off the surface where the pencil was. Now, go into your add a new tweet, put the sharp of the pencil above the shot of you, crop at the pencil. Now, find the area in the video where you are behind the pencil. At that place, you’re going to make the pencil a bit smaller so, your head doesn’t go behind it but in front of it and then you’ve got to do the same thing with the base where your head goes in front of or behind it, sorry. And then finally, you just want to delete the last bit and that’s basically is. So it looks like this.
Male: Our next tutorial comes in from longtime Indy Mogul member, big boy, Russ
Russ: Hi, I’m Russ Peacock and I’m going to show you how to do the contra zoom. It's a very simple, easy to pull off method used widely in Jaws, Fellowship of the Ring, in Vertigo and many other films. It's really easy to do so let's go and have a look. For this highly scientific experiment, as utilized, the leprechauns—What you need to do is, stat and zoomed in on your actor, all leprechaun and get your camera rolling. Now, it's got about like a strong emotional and response from your actor as you're completing the shot.
Now, zoom out as you track forwards and the effect should look something like this. The magic of camera has not taught Mr. Leprechaun. Oh, no.
Male: All right, that wraps up another episode of Your Effects. Thank you to everyone who submitted because without you guys, this show would be nothing and also remember that, everyone that gives a tutorial on the show gets a free t-shirt.
