How to Create Traditionally Animated Lightning Effects
In this electrifying video we will demonstrate how to make analogue lightning effects and at the same time prove how it's always better to make your hands dirty and try to film stuff for real instead of generating stuff on your computer because it will always look better. Except when you're working on that client job, you know, and they ask for some lightning effects, and you ask "ok when do you need it'?", and they say "we need it yesterday", and you say "ok how much money do you have?", and they say "not a lot really", and then you say "ok", and you most definitely don't go film anything for real because they don't deserve it, you don't even generate lightnings in After Effects because even that would be too much work. What you do instead is you search your hard drive for that old lightning effects pack you downloaded back in 2012 that you never used and you just slap some cheap-ass lightnings on their footage and take their money. So only use this analogue technique for your own projects and NEVER for client work... The bastards don't appreciate you anyway...

Invisible Effects: The Painful Work You Never Notice

But this time we are uncovering it all!! We are spilling all the dirty secrets from our film and showing how we fixed all the mistakes that occurred during production because that's how films are made... with lots and lots of mistakes. 0...
We Combined a Traditional Matte Painting with Blender!

Albert Whitlock's Matte Department & Illusion Arts: www.youtube.com/@TraditionalMattePaintings Here at Slice of Life we're crazy about traditional matte paintings and it's no surprise we managed to squeeze one in this film as well. But this time we enhanced some of the parts with the help of a free 3D software called Blender. It's a wonderful synergy of new and old, of analogue and digital. Or,...
Compositing Miniatures and Creating Realistic Shots
zhlédnutí 46KPřed 3 měsíci
All the miniature shots have been filmed, and the next phase is creating the finalized, oh-so-beautiful shots! In this video, I demonstrate the ancient technique of "compositing." It's a magical process where the filmed passes are combined and augmented with additional filmed elements, and when they're all wonderfully blended together, we get the final shots. Indeed, it is all truly fascinating...

This is our first ever CHRISTMAS EPISODE and also part TWO of our miniature filming process. We had a real blast with this one! We filmed in the middle of the holiday season and were constantly battling the cold. Some of the miniatures were poorly built, which caused problems during filming. This resulted in some of the model builders being fired, which was awkward considering I was the only mo...

How to Film Inserts (And Save Time and Money)

Today, we'll take a little break from miniature building to film some inserts. We always film inserts separately from the main filming as it's much more practical and allows us to make the shots as perfect as we want them. There are some cool tips on how to make your inserts look good in this one, so be sure to watch it at least ten times! 00:00 WHY FILM INSERTS SEPARATELY? 0:59 USING A MONITOR...

    I LOVE that it has this very textural, real-life feel - a bit of that old school "STYLIZED Hollywood" look similar to an older film that used matte paintings and I really love that! And this is stuff we can do on any budget or NO budget with just some creative thinking. So I really appreciate this!

  • @tinkerjeeppublications9823

    pretty good cinematic world building. characters arent right. for a US audience, the two guys look too foreign. I was guessing the production was French-Canadian or Slavic in origin..."Hero's" facial structure...the Cop's general look, and the close ups of a nasty, goopy beard...seem French...bit 5ue cop's long hairnseem like Donal Logue'e 8n the recent Canadian remake of Resident Evil: Welcome tonRacoon City. And also, most Americans know how to clean (or at least flush) a toilet, so Canadian, French...or...Slavic was my second guess. again, good world building. exterior shots look good enough to be in Blade Runner. the actors dont.

    • @sliceoflifefilm
      @sliceoflifefilm Před 13 dny

      But this sci-fi world is multi ethnic, why would the protagonists need to be american? And yes, you were right, we are Croatian which is Slavic origin. We just learned to flush our toilets recently and it was after we made the film, hence the poop in the toilet. We'll try to avoid it in the next film.
