Ok, I have to
admit it. I am really just an enthusiastic amateur in this department
but I do what I can with my limited resources. I´ve had to
come up with a few innovative solutions to problems encountered
while filming my shorts. Here are a couple of examples. I´ve
mostly done "glow" animations for various characters eyes
and magical weapons, but there are a couple of more interesting
examples. In the opening scene of my vampire musical "Small
Town Dead, I had to make it rain blood. In this same film, I couldn´t
afford blanks and squibs for the guns so I had to edit in muzzle
flashes and artificial lights in post. In addition, I have done
some editing tricks and mattes.
The following are screen grabs from "Small Town Dead".
Sadly, they don´t look very good as freeze frames.
