Behind the Receiver
This video was quite a lot of work to make. For this video, we didn't have any sort of fancy motion capture equipment, so we filmed a basic, intentional fight scene with myself and Carissa. After that I made a 3d model of a robot in Blender, not a very good model, but I was just a beginner at the time, and I then rigged it and used the reference of myself to animate it. In a couple of shots I tracked the camera, but most of the time it was entirely hand keyed movement. After rendering the robot out I brought it into my compositor and then I went through the footage and painstakingly removed myself from it, sometimes by rotoing myself and filling in the empty spot, and sometimes by rotoing Carissa and putting her on another background.
The end result was pretty decent, even good considering out skill level at the time. I had planned to make more videos like this in a sort-of series, but I don't know if that will ever happen.
