Post Production Edit - Online Editor

After grading the films was done, with tom working on the effects shots Tom would pass me the effects shot and I would then add them into the cut. To make the effects shots work as well as giving me the VFX shot I also asked Tom to produce a matte of the effects shot as well.

This being the matte template above and VFX below.

When splicing the effect shot into the timeline I would layer the matte and VFX shot together applying a matte key on the matte shot to blend the together.

Layering the shots together from the timeline. With green screen shot first once ive been given the effect shot I would layer them on top of each other. So I would place the effect on a new video layer above the green screen clip, then I duplicated the effects shot and then put the matte template on top over the duplicated shot applying a matte key effect on this. The colour I produced I saved them as colour templates I simply applied the two different colours on to the two effects shots to get the split screen as you can see. if your reading this it sounds hard and difficult but its really rather simple . :)

Applying this same process on to the other green screen footages.

We had the avid edit suite booked and it was the same repeated process Tom would be doing the effects, Lucy would be in another room working on the sound and I would be in the same room as Tom doing the online edit. Tom would pass me the effects shot and I would put it together and splice it in to the video and at some points Lucy would come in and check on us It felt like working in a professional environment and felt like I was working within the actual Industry.
