Political talk show opener

For Motion Graphics II, our first major project was to create a neutral political talk show opener. So here is my entry. Stock footage courtesy of Digital Juice.

Soldiers fighting back-to-back

I was assigned a simple chroma-keying exercise in Motion Graphics II. Since I had little else due, I decided to take it a bit further than that. I am one of the soldiers, the other is Seth Lawrey. Muzzle flashes and fog from a footage collection by Andrew Kramer of Videocopilot.net. Costumes by John White. Miniature terrain built by me, Ruth Mentzer, John White, Sebastian Hernandez, Tim Mohatt, Seth Lawrey, Nick Person, Alan Province and instructor Todd Debreceni. Guns by Todd Debreceni. Sky provided by Cgtextures.com. The composite was done in After Effects CS4.
