Our New Autumn Winter Show Reel 2009 !!!
Despite this plug-in being almost 2 years old now, we still gain great results from this fantastic keyer.
TIP 1 : Switch to screen matte view mode to reduce any stray pixels that the keyer left behind. This switches the view from RGB to a matte so pixels that the keyer missed show as white against a black background. In the screen matte editor boost the clip black to knock these out.
TiP 2 : If you attempting to key DV, HDV or HD, and you find that the keyer leaves a feint 1 pixel edge around your subject, apply a simple choker to contract the edge of the subject.
All in all, 2 thumbs up for Keylight!
Epic Mickey
02/11/2009
Warren Spector has revealed that upcoming Wii title Epic Mickey was originally planned as a multi-format release.
According to the Official Nintendo Magazine, Spector said that the decision to make it a Wii exclusive meant that they could deliver the best possible game they could.
“The reality is that we started Wii development in 2008, but before that we were a PC, PS3, and 360 title.
“It’s burned in my brain – [Disney Interactive boss] Graham Hopper pulled me into my office one day and said ‘What does it take to deliver on the goals we have for this product? And I said, well, you need enough time and enough money to be competitive. And it’d be awfully nice if we could focus on one platform.
“At that time we were talking about a Wii port and I was begging people – no, we can’t just port to the Wii, it’s not going to work. It needs to be its own game. A lot of the design ideas just won’t work on the Wii, we need to give the Wii its dues. Graham looked at me and said ‘What do you think about a Wii exclusive?’ And I went ‘Holy cow – yeah!”
Epic Mickey sees players control Mickey Mouse as he attempts to restore harmony to a cartoon wasteland.
