Final Project

The final project consisted of me shooting separate sporting events on greenscreen and compiling them into a short segment of what would be the best sports plays/moments. Originally shooting and wanting to edit 10 top sports moments time and other issues led me to make the TOP 5 best sports moments. My shooting schedule became varied and I had to shoot my actors separately for some of the team sports moments and edit them together into the same sport scene. The football one in particular took the longest to put together and time right for the snap. That one I shot one person at a time with only three of us going in different directions on the snap and duplicated and edited to make an offensive and defensive line. Here are screenshots from the greenscreen shoot of each of the 10 sports I was going to use.

Basketball - Was going to use two plays from the basketball scene:

Boxing:

Football:

-Offense

-Defense

-Hiking Center

-QB

Golf:

Skating:

Soccer:

Tennis:

UFC:

Wrestling:

I was also suppose to do some on location shooting to composite with the green screen footage. I was going to go to a soccer and football field to do the location shooting but scheduling and the greenscreen shoot took a majority of my time. Here are some of the mattes I Photoshoped and their originals.

UFC: Original/Finished

Boxing: Original/Finished

Football: Original/Finished

Soccer: Original/Finished

I ended up choosing Golf, Boxing, Soccer, Football, and the UFC for my top plays. A lot of time was spent on doing bunch of Photoshoping to make the mattes for compositing. Almost all the stills I had contained players in it and I had to remove them from the images for use. These were just a bunch of large images I found off the internet. Couldn't find any free stock sports footage, but that would of been great. Every ball used in the sports plays was animated except the football play. The soccer one in particular took a while to animate the ball being dribbled and hit and tossed around the player.

Here is my final video that I was able to edit in After Effects:
