Fictional videos which showcase Video Foundry's capabilities in chroma keying and special effects.
Chroma Keying
Shooting either "on location" or in a studio? Both options are expensive! Searching for the right location is time consuming and the owners may not be amenable to providing the access you need. Building the set in the studio is a major task. When studio hire rates are considered, time is of the essence. Chroma keying offers an alternative - film your actors against a plain green background which is replaced in post production with a background of your choice.
Chroma keying is a key component of "special effects". Special effects have application far beyond the action movies for which they were originally devised. Even in a simple promotional video, special effects widen the scope of what can be achieved and often provide a quicker, lower cost alternative to filming content directly.
Machinima
Often the background used for chroma keying will be a still image. But there are other exciting possibilities such as leveraging the creativity of a computer game to provide action backgrounds and stimulate the narrative flow. From wikipaedia: "Machinima is the use of real-time computer graphics engines to create a cinematic
production. Most often, video games are used to generate the computer animation."
These videos were made using X-Plane 11 to provide the backgrounds.
Here is a still from the filming and a certificate that it received.
Here is another video which was selected for the London Lift-Off Online film festival in 2018, and received a "Highly Commended" award in another competition that year.
This video contains samples of special effects we have added, showing the range of what can be done.
