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.

I’m cutting together the footage for the short film our youth group is making. I love editing stuff. this is like my dream job. The first two movies I made were really rushed and for school so I didn’t do such a great job on them, but I just love sitting down and going through footage. Finding the awesome parts. Making it all flow. This is what I want to do forever.

Hopefully we’ll start getting some jobs and all I will have to do is edit. Shoot, edit, awesome. If I could do this for the rest of my life I would be happy.

While I was running through the footage I came across a scene of epic fail. Everybody messed up their lines or said them wrong, but we just kept rolling. It was awesome.

Hopefully I’ll be able to post a preview of the film to come by the end of this week. I should have all the footage cut together by tomorrow. Over the next couple of days I’ll be working on the keying. Then I’ll be doing the hard part: Making a fake lake and beach. Deadline to have it completed is May 16th at the latest. I’m putting my deadline at the 10th, but shooting for having it completed on the 3rd.
