Alien invasion teaser (official title still in the works)

A teaser trailer for a short film currently in progress. the film is about aliens attacking earth and the people who survive (yes i know very typical). because most of the work is done by me, and because im only a single man this will take a long time to make. summer 2009 is the target.

check in within a couple months for a longer trailer.

Hey I have a question about the scene with the two actors with the alien ships coming toward them. Did you have to mask every frame of that in order to give the illusion that the ships were actually behind them? if you could get back to me I'd appreciate it lol thanks!

Hey Atomatonn,

What i did first was because the sky was somewhat contrasted from the actors i was able to key it out using after effects. and parts that were imperfect i went back and masked those out after. I generally try to shoot against a sky that is fairly even in color/lighting because rotoscoping is a real pain with people. If you want to know the actual steps i took just message me and i will try to help you out.

great¡¡¡

[radgoncan]

Great, especially liked the first scene, though i think the scene with the shake-camera wasn't realy neccesary

[vallonierproduction]

geex the land in the last scene has a lot of trees, what was the point of shooting there? now they gotta go back to their home planet and get new missiles.

Was thinking more along the line of the F-302s from Stargate but Banshees work just as well :)

Looks cool, hopefully you can enter MTF's contest (That why you posted in response?)
