60 Minute Bash - UFO Faking (That took 15
Minutes)
Friday, 25th May 2007
Out of I'm On Leave From Work boredom, I slapped together a
60 Minute Bash (that didn't take 60 minutes) of me faking a UFO, but
I was amused that my woefully crap compositing (I wanted the end
result to look fake, hence the word 'Poorly' slapped on the front)
ended up looking substantially more realistic after Youtube had
applied its own unique form of compression.
Here we see the original composite. Obviously, its a
pretty poor affair. The Ufo is tacked on with a two point track from
the building to the left, its colour correction is basically
non-existent (in fact, I simply made it 85% opaque and
grained/blurred the crap out of it). The theory is, it wouldn't fool
anyone.
Youtube's brutal compression gives the
shot some credibility. Admit it, that's fairly amusing.
