Our First FX Clip!

Shot, Pre FX

Shot, After FX



Why are we doing an effects shot? Because our computer doesn't have enough memory for BB, Megatron, Ironhide, and the entire city set at the same time. This requires some screen magic. Merging a clip with Megatron kicking Ironhide, and then the air, with a clip of Megatron kicking the air, and then kicking Bumblebee, we managed to make two shots for one shot, blending the two seamlessly with a matte. 
Slight drawback: The software we are using to matte the two doesn't exactly have HD. Uh-oh. Coming soon is another sneak peek, this time of the clip we are currently matting. See for yourselves the only FX clip in the Music Video!

Also, we are thinking about putting our finished video on both YouTube™ and Vimeo. Do you like that idea? Vote, on our new poll!
