Week 4: Hologram Time

     As promised last time, I have some experimental footage to show you folks.  I've previously mentioned a few times that Sil plans on editing in hologram projections of news headlines in the diner to help with the whole sci-fi setting.

     Using Premiere Pro, Sil edited the rectangle onto the top of the whiteboard and then added the moving line of text on top of it.  The text originally continued from all the way on the right of the screen to the left past the rectangle, so Sil got some help from other people in class who work with Premiere all the time and figured out how to put some clear layer onto the video that would hide the text where ever she put it.  The line also used to be a solid blue color, so she turned it into a gradient and made it translucent so it has more of that holographic feel.  She was upset that she wasn't able to figure out how to make the hologram glow, but I think it looks good the way it is.

     In my next post, I'll be discussing our work on the script and further preparations before we (hopefully next week) we start filming.  See you then.
