Moving along...
We're moving along with our compositing skills. In this set of videos, we had to merge a computer-generated helicopter into existing video footage. They are very short videos, but interesting nonetheless. I wish we had more base footage to go with. Ten seconds of video would not have taken much more work and would have given more than just a tiny taste of what we were trying to achieve.
So, on to the videos. Starting with this...
We made this...
But apparently, they didn't get very far. Don't worry, no simulated or real people were hurt in this disaster. But the helicopter is beyond repair.
Late edit: So you know, these are the completed works of two assignments. The tiny little video snippets had no helicopter in them. The first was a "free moving camera" pan. The second was a "nodal pan" (meaning a camera rotating in one place). ALL the helicopters and their parts were not in the original video, and are computer generated.

So how does this work? You are supposed to add the helicopter to the first animation and cause it to end like the final clip? Looks good so far!
that looks great! You are getting better all the time dude! I love the video of the helicopter taking off from the helipad. AWESOME!

I get it! Wow are you getting good at this!
I feel badly that I don't get here regularly anymore but when I do...I just leave smiling!
every.single.time.
The skills you are gaining are just so much fun to observe!!! What was your favorite part of creating these clips? Did you get to decide at what angle to send the helicopter off in, etc? Is the toolset you use for these clip creations ultra complex or are you finding more and more it is about experience and skills to create these clips?
hugs,
