[DivineMagix]

Oh cool the bellsouth tower in Nashville. I live in Nashville. Is that where you live featureman?

[Featureman]

I live near there but not in Nashville. I get there once or twice a year.

Great tut 5/5 :)

[Featureman]

Thanks. Grab the dinosaur spray.

[MicheleMidnight]

woo hoo saved to favs. love a good tutorial!

[Featureman]

Thank you.

[VirtuallyAddicted]

Very cool. I use green poster board when I want to do green screen with my webcam. Just tape it to the wall behind me. :)

[Featureman]

I used a green poster board for the dinosaurs in this one. Green poster board seems to be the best color for a green screen. Thanks.

Of course the dinosaurs don't look good in front of the Featureman Building! A flying unicorn on the other hand, would look lovely. Sheesh, seems we need to tell you EVERYTHING!

[Featureman]

Thanks. If you only knew how difficult is is to work with a unicorn. Their union has too many rules. Dinosaurs are very cheap and they always hit their marks. They might accidently step on a house or something but they work cheap.

[thizizliz]

Well, in the current economy, I guess that's understandable, but so very disappointing.... On the other hand, dinos are just big lizards and someone with my name should be on their side doncha know....

[Featureman]

That is true. As soon as the economy turns around we get a unicorn. I have a feeling there will be lots of work for the big lizards and lizardettes for years to come.

Wow. Does that cropping feature automatically find edges for you? I.e. could it find the edges between building and sky?

[Featureman]

No. It just makes a vertical or horizontal straight line cut. I can't do any shapes. I am able to rotate the overlay in any direction, any amount after I crop one edge. The left and right dinosaur are the same video scene flipped mirror wise. I was surprised I was able to get the line between building and sky so close. I spent very little time editing it. I want to be able to do a free form shape crop sometime. That would add a lot. Thanks.

[rpbraziliansinger]

Very nice, Tom!! =D

[Featureman]

Thanks, Raffa.

[Bandaids4ever]

Hehe! Awesome.

[Featureman]

Thanks.

[Nitrobezene]

It's never complete without the scary dinosaurs.

[Featureman]

Yep. A city isn't a city without a big lizard. Thanks.

[cyberwanderer]

Sure hope the Featureman Building's insurance covers dinosaur damage. (Some policies won't cover that.)

[Featureman]

Dinosaur insurance is through the roof. I opted for a $5000 Lizard Deductible. That and the grenade launcher will be helpful. Thanks.
