Hey guys, I made this as part of a requirement for my production class. It was my first time working with a full crew, in a studio, and with a green screen. Hopefully you’ll get a kick out of it.

Here’s the credit list, grabbed off of youtube:

This video was made for the in-studio part to my BRC235 production class. No geese were hurt in the making of this film.

I enlarged the geese using Photoshop. A special thanks to the rest of the crew.

Hey, it sounds like I am in a Production class similar to yours. I love this PSA, good work!

I think, for next time, you can get rid of the green around his figure by backlighting to highlight the edges. Still, so much better than most greenscreen attempts.

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it :).

Thanks! Yeah, I think that the chroma-key actually needed to be tweeked a bit on the switcher - which I wasn’t really in control of :(. But it could’ve been the lighting too, that was also someone elses job haha. I guess that’s how video production works - blame everyone but yourself :).

That was alright. I thought you (or whoever was talking) talked too fast.

That was a friend of mine (who happens to unicycle). It did feel a little rushed. The teacher insisted that our commercials or PSAs were 1 minute EXACTLY…so getting that timing down was probably the hardest part. Thanks for the critticism though :).
