That was really cool!!! I aways thought that song could have been used as a theme song!!! And it actually looked like opening credits!!!

[Aoife]

That was great!! I liked it How did you do that speciel effect with one clip in front of the other

Thanks for the comments, guys! They really make my day! I actually didn't originally intend to make an opening credits sequence, but I wanted an excuse to experiment with some special effects stuff.

Aoife- I experimented with some keying effects on Adobe Premiere Elements. I can't remember what the specific type of keying I used is called, but basically I tried to find a scene where the background is a different color than the rest of the character, then I made the background color disappear. So let's say I take a scene of Hurley in the jungle (where there is lots of green). I select a part of the jungle (which will most likely be green) and the program causes that specific color to vanish. Then I adjust what similar colors I want gone as well (different shades of green) and fade the edges a bit until all that's left is Hurley (who hopefully does not have anything green on him, or that will vanish, too). After that I just take that Hurley scene and place it on top of another scene in a different layer. The process itself is simpler than it sounds. It's finding the right character scenes that's the REALLY hard part. You just have to play around and experiment with different things.

Thanks for that Keep up the good work

Putfile Never works for me.

Any Chance of putting up another site?

[whitestone1623]

iamstrong- I'm gonna be busy with school next week, so I might not be able to until spring break. Is there any particular site that works best for you?

[Aislynn]

Really, really nice work! I loved that "disappearing color effect" thing! *envious sigh*

Totally awesome song for the concept, too. All in all, a great, enjoyable vid!
