thanks, looked at it, its expensive though for my budget, i'm making a home made short film,

do u suggest a software that will cater to the needs of an animation with green screen and will need special effects as there will be magic in it,

thanks marc :)

Hi Oran, check out the FXHome products. They have green screen and particle generator programs there that are fairly cheap. You might ask someone who owns those or after effects to do the magical parts too. Sometimes it's the best option.

hi marc,

what do use after effects for ?

is it for fx n green screening cuase im thinkin of getting it,

would you recommend it ?

thanks

[animateclay]

I'm now using Sony Vegas to edit the film because the green screen capabilities are waaaay better than the After Effects program. It's a lot more modernized.

Do you use plasticine?

[animateclay]

Yes, it's Van Aken Claytoon which is the same thing.

wat stop motion program do you use?

[animateclay]

I use a video lunchbox for frame reference, and I use stop motion pro to compile the captured frames on my still camera into .AVI files for editing.

How many mouth replacements do you have?

[animateclay]

I think for Ruble, just 9 mouths

[MartyTheManager1]

Hmph. Some people use 7-13 mouths. Interesting varieties.

[animateclay]

For the basics just search for Chroma Key on google. Or try chroma key program, chroma key paint, green screen etc. There's a lot of free info on how to do it out there.

[AguztoRush97]

where could I buy a green screen someon replay me please.

[animateclay]

Why not make one with a piece of dry wall and green paint? It's not expensive that way.

[AguztoRush97]

but how does it work? what program is needed?

[jimizhoopla]

just regular green fabric dummie! it has even color so its easy to key out.

[AguztoRush97]
