CGI Test for Preliminary Task



I have conducted a CGI test based on the footage from our preliminary task. This is so I can assure that the footage from the Canon cameras we use is compatible with the editing programs we use.

I have used various effects in this mini clip.
I have used adjustments to manipulate lighting, generated simple lightning effects to follow the thrown ball and created a light burst from the ball itself to make it look illuminated.

So now I have learnt that I can manipulate lighting to get desirable outcomes. This will come very useful towards our production. It could tackle problems like having the weather differ the lighting in our footage time to time.

Preliminary Task

We have finished recording our preliminary task. We captured the footage on the Mac computers using the firewire that had been hooked up to the Canon DV camera. The program we used to capture on the Mac was Final Cut Express. It is also the program we have used to edit our footage and export it to a movie.
