My First Live-Action Footage Exercise

[Toa_Kaita]

So I know that I've posted a lot of cool renders here in the Sci-Fi Renders section of the forum, but as of late I've also been dabbling in integrating visual effects  with live-action footage. I've done it with pictures before but never real video footage. That said, this is my first video into this venture. Enjoy!

Who, you shooting, romulans, cardies, klingons??

[Toa_Kaita]

Nah, just my wall. I've been needing an excuse to add soundproof insulation in the first place :p

they look good.

but just a critique, your timing was off on a few of your shots... i.e. your muzzle flash didnt match where the barrel was at the time when the effect went off.

OTHER THAN THAT.

this is f*cking sweet. im keeping my eye on you 

[Toa_Kaita]

Yeah I kind of noticed that after the fact too. Ill try to improve on it in future videos. Thanks!

Here's my second exercise. This time I went a step further and used 3DS Max in conjunction with it

Looks a little odd how it just appears, and the scaling seems a little off.  :p

The stabilization was very nice, though. Looked like it was part of the shot there.
