WHERE I GET MY MUSIC, SFX & STOCK FOOTAGE (2 Months Free!)

In today's video, I take you behind the scenes of how I transformed my living room into Star-Lord's spaceship using virtual production, recreating an iconic scene from Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 on a ZERO budget. Of course, gotta say thanks to Chris Pratt for making this video possible.

You can shoot the BG and yourself separate and do a subtle move on the BG to simulate the 3D set. We did this a lot in VFX, called parallax. For example the BG moves a path "x" in 2D, and your foreground head moves 1/3 of x, it would feel 3D

To make a note selecting the oposit of the previous note, just Left click on the note with the first selection > New note > Outside note. Or just Alt+O

You could also generate a depth map of the image using existing online AI depth map gen. tools to create a slight panning motion to mimic the parallax from the original shot as well. It's quite sophisticated for how fast and easy it is to generate. Good for also being able to pull focus in or out slightly depending on scene depth.

"and this was my face realizing I was sitting too low on the floor" 😂😂😂😂 i paused the video and laughed for like two solid minutes. Was not expecting a joke and it was great. Well done. 😂😂😂

2:36 did not know this was a thing. You've probably saved me days of work colour grading manually!!!

[Jaap-Relou]

It always costs time. Time is the most valuable thing people have. Every day you only get less and its impossible to get extra.

[popcornbros]

Probably the best tutorial have seen for years !!! Thanks a lot !

When color grading off of a sample image just get the color values of the whites in the sample image and match that to the whites part of your image, (white balancing)

I have been using my TV as a backdrop with great results, I also am messing around with projectors but those are much trickier unless you can rear-project or have a pricey short throw projector you can place behind the subjects. And I have a green screen, which I find is never as sharp or easy to work with due to wrinkles, shadows, inconsistent screen surface lighting and etc etc etc.

Work with what you got, you can make amazing things, like this video shows.

You can use an Outside node that will change with any change of a mask of a previous node

"I just didn't realize how black your eyes were." I don't know if anyone else caught that reference that just had me rolling too much. 😂 Nice comedic timing. But what a great video this is. Super 👍

[andersistbesser]

Great work! The tv trick is cool. Finally i had a use for a big screen as i dont watch tv😅

[VanceAnce]

cool - could you explain why no greenscreen ?
i missed that slightly whats the point or why its better with a screen (lightning ?, easier ?, faster ? )
