Yes, it is pure water! Eating lunch with my friend in Thailand and suddenly when I’m about to pour up my bottle of water, it freezes to ice. Not every day that happends..
And for those who don’t beleave me, google “supercooling” and read for your self.
Also use Google to find tutorials on Green Screen Techniques. There are loads out there.
Most of the shots are static images that i split into two layers in Photoshop. In particular the city shots; i cut out the buildings i wanted the performer to hide behind and then placed them in separate layers in After Effects. The performer is sandwiched between them.
All the camera moves were done in After Effects by Motion Sketching the whole composition. A wiggle expression on the Position key frames would work just as well.
That’s not me in the video, its my mate Dave.
This was for my final year project at Staffordshire Uni.
It took about a fortnight to make, on and off.
Check out www.actionblastfilms.com for my showreel.
Cheers to Dave for his acting, and Si for his big tongued Dog.
