Video update

As of today all the footage has been shot for the video. All the band footage was shot in a days shoot against the greenscreen background which I cleared out my back room tomake space for along with the lighting etc. I then went and shot all the background footage, although with the prolonged snow I had to incoporate that somehow as I wouldn't be able to get the firey sky look I was originally going for. I decided to make it a nuclear winter instead to make it in keeping with the theme of the song. This also allowed me to be just as stylistic and to play with colour saturation etc. I did a rough cut of the footage and then started to key out the greenscreen in After Effects I then began compositing the two different sets of footage and grading them to make it look more relistic. Examples and a rough cut will be posted shortly. I also decided that as the band members get nuked at the end I needed some narrative device to show what had actually caused this so decided to model an F-117 Nighthawk StealthBomber in Autodesk Maya. This model can then be textured, have lighting applied and exported as a PNG picture sequence for use in After Effects. Here is a shot of the jet for reference. This will also help add realism as these kinds of radar stealthed jets are used to drop nuclear grade warheads in combat situations.
