  • Great video. I loved the effects. Keep up the good work.

    One question, when loading your video to your computer, do you need any special software to make the video run in reverse?

  • Depending on your specific software of choice, you should be able to reverse the footage in any number of editing programs that are available. This is not performed until you reach the post-production phase (editing), but is relatively simple to accomplish.

  • great episode idea, i didnt understand how the image was not projected on the actor as they were standing infront of it? was the person green screened in?

    For the jedi powers part you should remember to export the audio of when the effect is used and reverse it and line it up with the video to give it a realistic sound.

    You guys should also add a link in your video description to your site ( in every video) .

    I dont know why ive never visited it.

    thanks

  • The projected image was in-fact projected onto me, but I made sure that I had the projector at about knee height (2') high. This enabled me to film a Medium Shot (waist to head) of myself and not show the projected image reflecting off my pants. No Green screen was used in this video, but it would be easy to perform a green screen effect in a similar fashion.

  • im a new youtuber... would you guys mind checking me out and tell me how im doin?

  • for the projection loop i would set up a rear screen projection to advoid shadows

  • I believe Doctor Who used to use the technique of filming its own projection in their introductions. That was many decades ago though, when special effects were as good as the people who could control the effects without a computer.

  • check out my jumping effect. I did it by reversing the clip. youtube.com/user/brockray
