I'll be doing a virtual clinic for the Potomac Division of the NMRA on May 11th at 3:00PM. I believe the clinic will be posted to youtube after I present it if you are not a member of the NMRA. Here is a brief video clip showing some of the material I will be covering.
Bernie - great presentation saturday; excellent historic photos, and nicely done ship models on your layout
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you liked it.
DeleteHere's a dumb question Bernie. If the ships cranes are images on the backdrop, how do you have lights on them in the night operations video? Jeff
ReplyDeleteGood catch. I used Adobe After Effects to swap backdrop photos for the night video. It was easy (OK, easier) to do because the camera did not move.
DeleteOh, interesting. It was so well done and didn't realize that a video could be edited like that post production.
DeleteYes. Adobe After Effects is professional grade video editing software. With enough time and experience one could do a full length movie with it. I barely know how to scratch the surface of that software.
DeleteYes your right Bernie, in architecture school I had a class in Adobe Photoshop/Illustrator, but never had the time to master these softwares. Adobe for me is not a good fit, but want to become proficient in digital rendering, and eventually do some modeling projects similar to the tech that you use. Adobe products will do anything, but for me are almost too complex and I struggle with the interface. If I ever get some free time I want to explore other alternatives like Blender, and switch to all Apple products. Whatever your skill set those night time dock crane images really jumped out at me, especially compared with the daylight views. Thanks for explaining the process.
