I thought I would try and make something a bit different with this video and overall I think it worked quite well. Hopefully the cuteness of the fuzzy, wuzzy, puppet Bear medium allows them to get away with swearing so much. It was brilliantly voiced by David Bussell and sound mixed by Mat Davidson. I hope you likes.
This was my first proper attempt at Green screening characters and it turned out to be VERY fiddly. Adobe Premiere and Blender's green screening functions each had their problems so I ended up having to buy VisionLab Studio. It's a bit expensive but it worked perfectly and I'm looking forward to using it again. Especially the grading features which should bring a more professional look to my videos.
A few months ago I was lucky enough to win a sketch writing competition run by FunnyOrDie.co.uk and the prize was that they were going to film my sketch. Well it's finally here and they did an absolutely amazing job! I can't believe the cast they got for it either... they're like famous people!
Sadly I can't take any credit for the ending which is hilarious. They also made the dialog a lot slicker in places. I said I was happy for them to make chages to the script if it wasn't working on the day. I'd much rather have a funnier end product than them sticking religiously to what I'd written. It's actually quite a humbling experience to see what professional writers were able to do with my script to take it to the next level! Maybe I need to start looking for a co-writer? Preferably one who can do this to my scripts!
In other news, I completed my second ever 5K fun run yesterday and set a new personal best! Woohoo! I came 175th out of 177 runners, just behind a couple of ladies called Maureen and Moe! But I won't dwell on that too much, it's still a personal best!
