1. Composition of the CG layers in Maya
a. CG Ball
b. Multiple Ball
2. Composition of the scene in Adobe After Effects/Premiere
Bits and pieces of the video were edited, chroma-keyed and added into their correct layers for the final video. Sound effects were produced by obtaining royalty free sound effects and editing them in Adobe Premiere/Audition. The television was composed from editing an image through Adobe Photoshop and adjusting its orientation.
Things that Weren't Easy
- Animate the ball's movement to match the players' choreography.
- Creating the multiple ball effect to blend with the scene and be as realistic as possible
- Chroma-keying the footage taken in the green screen room (small moving objects and green reflection)
- Some rendering issues using Maya.
Things Left to Do
- Polish the CG animations (ball's movement and the multiple ball effect).
- Finish adding sound and background music to our video.
- Finish sequencing the rest of the clips.
- Make our final video within the ideal length (30~60 secs).
