Dream Scene of my Senior Project

This is my favorite scene from my Senior Project. I had fun using Final Cut Pro to do some interesting split-screen effects.

hey, awesome video!

howd you do the bit with the computer monitor faces morphing into each other? i have final cut but havent been able to work out how to get images to warp into each other like that

For that I actually used free software for morphing images. You manually correlate points between each pair of images, so it's not an automated process. I don't remember exactly what format I imported the morphs into Final Cut.

I actually used a different program for the morphing. I may have used elastic reality. There are other programs that are free and simpler to use. I just imported the video into Final Cut and placed it on the computer monitor.

nice editing. how'd you do the part where there was a bunch of the little girl? i've been trying to work on something like that for my video class

the effect was done by split screen. the video must be shot from a tripod. In the editor (I used final cut, but can be done w/ premiere etc) put the clips in layers. I don't remember the name of the feature, but you can define a region to be visible and the rest will allow other layers to show thru. This shape can be changed over time to follow the object. Final cut has a blurred edge option to make it hard to see the lines where the shot was split.

Well done. Thanks.

Very cool! Don't really understand the plot, but it was amazing!
