Edge Effect - A Ghost at The Abbey (2nd version)

[1949bern]

If this Ghost is for real. Brilliant.

But just one thing, I did'ent think Ghosts cast shadows!

@1949bern - Valid point! - Hastily brushed over! :P

yh i got a feeling how you do it now, if not ill get my dad to help me! Lol! Thanxs a bunch! :D

[wannabevetgil101]

Omg This is amazing. The effects are immense, I really need to know how you do that. Well done, mate, that was some seriously good affects!!

[edgeeffect]

It's quite easy really. Each scene has a bit of video at the start of it with just the background. All I had to do was cut just one frame out of this background and super-impose it at 50% transparency over each frame of that video segment... erm... does that make any sense at all.

yh i saw the second ghost two that one was freaky!!!!!

[dmitchell1980]

this is soooo fake, when the "ghost" walks past the wall at 50 seconds you can see the shadow ......but ghosts dont have shadows !!! .

[edgeeffect]

Like I've said before. It's supposed to be fake. It's art - it's not Hollywood (goth forbid) and it's not paranormal research.

Yeah, sunlight is a meanie - casting it's shadows all over the place - damn the big yellow hurty thing.

But, bearing in mind that ghosts are a fictitious construct - they have no objective properties beyond those made up by the artist. So if I think they're allowed to have tenuous shadows (OK, so this shadow isn't exactly tenuous) then they can.

the funny thing is if this is fake @ around 20 sec in as she turns to walk away from the window a second one apears walking past the outside of the window

[edgeeffect]

That second "ghost" outside the window is a passing tourist. By the time I noticed they were there it was way too late for a reshoot. One thing I learned from making this video, shoot everything at least twice!

[edgeeffect]

It's supposed to be fake! This is what we in the trade call "art" luvvy!

[Horsez4lyf]

So fake. so so so fake.
