Does my video look convincing?

whathe12 · 08-12-2011, 01:33 AM

Does my video looks convincing enough? I moved the space ship frame by frame for close to 400 frames because I didn't know how to motion track at the time.

BTW I'm only 13 and any criticism would be welcomed.

EDIT: Check out the video on the second page for a new video that I need critism with.

It is quite obviously not real, but for a 13 year old its damn good

Well I'd say it looks pretty good actually. The lighting on the ship looks similar to that of the surrounding. I'd just make the shadows harsher instead of so soft. The shadows on the objects in the street are very harsh.

Is that the ship from District 9?
Would be more convincing with a worse camera at a lower framerate. So it's harder to spot the mistakes. I believe thats how they make "real" UFO videos.

As cyberzomby pointed out, I think the shadows must be worked on to look better (however, I don't know what you should do, so I'd follow cyber's tips).

Also, one thing I noticed... the ship seems to be wobbling a little bit. Might wanna take a look into it.

But good job, nonetheless!

I thought it was really good ~

This! Kinda reminds me of the sprites used in older games.

Also, your acting. Dude, if I saw a big-ass alien spaceship floating above my 'hood, I... well, I dunno what my reaction would be, but I'm damn sure it would be more than repeating "ohmygod an alien ship, this is amazing!".

Yeah. I'd go back to my shed, pick up the double Devastators, put on my sunglasses, and then, before shooting that thing to pieces, I'd scream

"COME AT ME BRO"

Now that'd be hilarious.

i'm 26 and that looks awesome.

edit: but not realistic, since it's obviously very blockbuster inspired.

Many people are used to see a UFO in a dish-like form, but it's quite good I must say, shadows, details and stuff!
