Accidents Happen (Sanyo Xacti Contest Entry)

The Sanyo Xacti High Definition Digital Camera is flippin' awesome! Check it out at: http://sanyo.com/xacti/english/

Also, I'd like to thank, and shamelessly promote Shaycarl: http://www.youtube.com/shaycarl

This is my entry to the Sanyo Xacti Sell-A-Bration youtube contest extravaganza thingy! I was originally told the due date was in early September, and discovered yesterday that it was, in fact, due this Friday. So the majority of the editing was done between 4:30 and 9:00 last night. Thanks Tyler...

Also it's seven seconds longer than the time limit. For this I apologize, but Tyler also failed to inform me of an time restrictions. I suppose I should have looked up the criteria for the contest... but then again, it's easier to blame Tyler.

Anyway, I managed to make it look half decent... well, at least not terrible. If you have some time, check out my other videos. They're all rubbish, but hey... you don't have to watch them.

wow. nice entry. I like the effects.

goodluck!

[FGPGabriel]

Thanks man! But don't let my bro know you like the effects, he reckons they're rubbish, haha.

[FourMileIsland]

haha of course!

im still kinda confused on how you did it though...

just took multiple shots and overlayed? but it looks more like greenscreen work..

[FGPGabriel]

Nah man, just the same shot, different times. Then I overlaid layers, and did some masking and some rotoscoping in After Effects. It would have looked a lot better if I had had the time I'd originally anticipated having, haha... but ah well. GOod luck yourself!

[FourMileIsland]

ah gotcha. yeah i need to play around more with After Effects.

good idea regardless!

[FGPGabriel]

Thanks man!

[FGPGabriel]

Thanks Kyle!

[FGPGabriel]

Thanks Shay-man! Haha, editing was a bit rushed, and some of the effects turned out a bit cheaper than I'd hoped, but hey, I'm just happy I made it in on time! Good luck making a decision!
