MAKING OF: Teaser shot breakdown
What a momentous occasion! This is the very FIRST making of featurette — the first of hopefully many.
Yes it’s rough, it’s crappy quality, it’s too long — but at least it’s DONE. Or as done as it’s gonna to get. These little howto/makingof/screen-grab things are more challenging to create than I expected. Mad propz to those who make these things look easy. But, I’m trying out some new apps, got a new mic, and will have more good stuff to show soon.
Plus, on the bright side, the quality can only go up from here! If you have any suggestions for future posts — questions, tips, suggestions — drop a line in the comments.
Hope you enjoy this little peak behind creating one of the shots in the teaser for .

BTW, I’m playing around with site designs… can’t seem to find anything I like.
Any thoughts?

Wes,
Hi this is James a.k.a. outaluck1 from YouTube. Everything is looking wonderful from what I can tell me but I’ve only watched the first to clips. I’m eager to watch the rest of them and to see more in the future. Thanks for the behind the scenes commentary. One thing that you did not go over in the commentary was how you made the explosion right at the end once the UFO crashed. If you get a chance maybe you can go over that in one of your future behind the scenes clips.
Regards,
James
P.S. Ah… the power of Lightwave! I see you are using version 9, do you plan on upgrading to 9.1? I’m still on version 8.5, but it harnesses enough power for my novice status.

Hey James. The explosion… was actually just a 2D card that I placed into the comp. Since everything was done in layers, it was easy to just drop it right in.
Glad you’re using LW too… can’t wait to really get my hands on the next version.
