Virtual studio- Stephenson music

Today, we learned how to create a visual studio for the blue screen using Adobe fireworks. I had a better angle on the person today then i did yesterday and this helped editing the background easier.

I based it on music so i wanted the background to be abit jazzy and show bizzy. The background was very simple to do and the logo with stands out well against the background because of the contrasts in colours. I exported this out of fireworks by selecting "image preview" and exporting it as a JPEG.

The desk was was done in a similar way accept i had to make the canvas transparent and make the shape of my desk. I used the tool style for the colour and the star shapes to give it that show biz feel. I exported it the same way i did the background accept i exported it as PNG instead of a JPEG.

The main problems i had with this video is trying to get rid of the video which kept showing up. I compensated for this by covering it with the desk but this also created a problem.

The character's hands couldnt rest properly on the virtual desk however, this problem was easily rectified by placing the desk just above the hands so it hides them abit.

I found today alot easier then yesterday when we first started editing videos via the blue screen. I enjoyed today too because it gave me a chance to get creative with the background and foreground.xxxx
