I wrote about this a while ago but never uploaded the completed videos. We made a couple of videos for our youth group. We used a green screen to film them, and Dan helped us with making a fake lake and beach in Blender. The beach video didn’t turn out too great because of quite a few things, but the one on the lake where Jesus and Peter walk on water turned out alright.

You’ll have to understand that a lot of the editing and keying was done in a time period of 20 hours. I got home from a trip to Dallas and didn’t sleep until I got these finished, 20 hours later. It was an extreme night, and that’s why there are flaws and things missing that we wanted to add in.

What do you think about the video? All the people used in the video were members of the youth group. This is the first green screen thing I had done, and I really wish I had worked on it more than I did.

The video we are making for our youth group is coming along. The deadline is coming up here very quickly and so far not much has been done. Mostly because I have been working way too much.

I’ve got the video rough cut done. Today I have and am going through and cleaning up the cuts and lining out second by second what will be where. I’m also getting the list of scenes we need animated second by second so we don’t have to make extra stuff we won’t use.

The audio has been killing me. For some reason in the timeline Premiere Pro has a lag in the audio with this HD footage. It’s not just this computer either as I tried it on the other computer we’ve got. I think it’s just the fact that these aren’t the latest and greatest computers. Both computers are pretty much exactly the same, earlier model dual core processors, 1GB RAM, 256MB video card. I want to order some more RAM from Newegg but it’s going to take a few days to get here and I’m not sure it will help. I’m just gonna have to kind of live with it.

I’ve been playing a little with the animation we’re doing in Lightwave but haven’t really got anything to show yet. Once I get these scenes all exactly cut and I have the exact things I need done in Lightwave I’ll start with those. Cory and Nate: I’ll probably need your help once it comes to this.

In fact, if anybody who does 3D animation happens to see this and wants to help out a Youth Group make this awesome video, let me know. I’ll buy you a Dew, a Beer or a camel, whichever you’d like. Let me know.
