Trailer For The Real HouseWives of Cyber Manhattan

AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! This is so fricken cutee. I love making content like this with my fearless femme girls.

To record this trailer we had to…

  • book a space to use the green screen room in the HCC and borrowed a camera from the HCC.
  • Then film some content with each other and individually. We used inspirations from the real housewives shows and then tried to incorporate our characters into it and use the class themes of course.
  • After recording, we downloaded the content to 2/3 computers. We learned from last time that it’s better to have the content saved a couple of times on different computers than to not have it or lose it.

Overall, recording was so much fun. It kind of felt awkward at first but Martina and Liv put on some Sabrina Carpenter, and we started vibing and it all started coming to life.

I have to give credit where credit is due! Martina is a wonderful editor and has helped us tremendously with the editing role for our films, along with her still being involved in all of the other tasks that are required to generate this type of content. She described the editing to us as, clipping the videos, adding the backdrop picture to the green screen, and then adding some music to it.

Also, Oliva created the intro part with Canva. I think it’s perfect for CyberPunk theme and goes really well with the rest of our material.

I can’t wait to finish this project up with them next week and create one huge final piece together.

Coming Soon!

Video Process

Figuring out how to actually create the video was the hardest part because I am not experienced with animating and I don’t know enough people who would be willing to act out the scenes for a live-action video, so I had to resort to using the game called Animal Crossing to make my trailer. I personally think the trailer came out cute but kind of goofy since it’s such a cartoony game and there was a lot of limits for how much I could portray a storyline from it.

The story was supposed to be how a peaceful island was taken over by highly advanced robots who crashed onto their land. The story is told visually so I tried my best to make it as clear as possible with the transition scenes. The final scene was shot from first-person point of view so it shows the other character’s shock and reaction to seeing a robot enter the town hall office. I think it was a good ending scene for the trailer because it leaves the audience to guess what happened next which helps for leading into the final project which will present the full story of what happened after the robots took over the island.

Creating it required recording multiple short 5 to 10 second long clips from the game. It was extremely tedious and required multiple retakes to get the scenes exactly how I wanted them to look. Camera angles and the filters mattered a lot to me because it helped with making the shots look more cinematic. Afterwards I took the video clips and connected them all into a full video using iMovie. I was also able to use Canva for the intro and outro. The intro I used a nature design background since it was supposed to be before the robots came and then for the outro it was represented with more of a tech design for the robots. Reviewing the video afterwards my biggest complaint was mostly the sound effects specifically the part with the crash explosion because it sounds too quiet. I am also concerned about when I make the full project because I have to tell a full story somehow without verbal audio so I have to learn how to either add in subtitles for dialogue or maybe speech bubbles somehow.

The Real Trailer!

For our group’s final project, we decided to do a tv show that centers around our course characters. We were inspired by shows like Vanderpump Rules and The Real Housewives of Orange County. Not only is our show inspired by those TV series, but we wanted our trailer to parody those TV shows as well.

We met on Monday in the HCC filming studio. We set up in front of the green sccreen and took a lot of videos of us doing different poses. We took individual shots and group shots to get a variety of clips into the trailer. We also recorded lines to add over the trailer just like they do in the classic reality tv trailers

Martina used Premiere Pro to edit the trailer, and just sent it back today. I think it came out so good and I am really impressed with her videography skills. She just learned how to use green screen for this project. I think she deserves extra credit for that.

Here is the final product!

ECHO PROTOCOL TRAILER

This a trailer for the upcoming final project. I used canvas to edit the video and put the glitching effects. I decided to use a bright red title to catch the attention of the view and the glitching effects to go alone along with the theme of a malfunction AI or issiues with technology. I also found helicoptor sound to match the cyberpunk themed helicopters I used in the trailer

Trailer For Final

For this project I used 3 sources a Canva was the main source where I did my best to bring my character to life. Even if it doesn’t have any warmth or a pulse. For my final project I plan to create a story about an Ai that gains ‘life’ an awareness of its existence and what it may mean in the world. To explain it is a young life that has been created like a baby. Not fully fleshed out yet but that’s what the next few weeks are for!

I really wanted to make it smoother however I am not a professional animator, so I am not going to stress about it. Still another thing is that I wished I centered it better, but I forgot my computer sits to the side, so it only seemed center till I UPLOADED IT ;-; Aside from that I like how the sounds came out. I used iMovie and had a select few options but with volume control and clipping it came out just right!

MIKU BLUE

Ahahaha that is the vibe here!

I made it in Canva like I said using shapes and animation affects to bring it to life. It’s simple but each movement is me staring at the screen wondering how tiny a frame can be before I can click on it. Unlike Audacity I can’t just zoom in.

Still I overall liked how it came out could’ve used more sounds but still really good in my books.
