Okay guys – just to tie this up neatly. I got a golfball texture and used CC sphere on it; I played with the lighting and shading parameters and animated the sphere. It looks great! The thing is, I put in all that effort and once motion blur was added, I realised I could have gained the same effect with a simple white circle! 😀

We live and learn. The ball itself though looks great, so would recommend the sphere/texture combo to anyone trying to recreate it 🙂

Wow guys – thanks for all the input, the bump map and CC sphere seems a good option – wish me luck!

I’ve just run the blu ray disc through mediainfo software and the results are as follows

I’m not crazy am I? This is telling me that the footage is HD quality?!

Thanks for the responses guys.

My friend said that the projection equipment read the footage as standard definition, and as a result misaligned the image on the cinema screen. So it wasn’t jut his personal opinion, it was the equipment – if this makes sense.

I really hope you’re right and that the bluray is fine, but is there anything at all that you can suggest has gone wrong?

Incidentally, Steve, you said that the settings were “fairly right” what would you change?

So, do these settings look right to everyone?

Would it make a difference if I simply rendered an image and then burned it using software?

Help?

Hi Richard,

Do you mean just to watch back in the editing suite? If so, select the section of video in your timeline using the in and out yellow markers(shortcut ‘i’ & ‘o’) then right click on the highlighted area and select the loop playback option.

Hope this helps!

OK folks – massive thanks for all your advise. I’ve included a before and after still. I wasn’t able to find frames where the actor wasn’t in shot so I’ve duplicated the shot, drawn a mask around the top ‘layer’ and used a mixture of Gaussian blur and vignetting to gain this outcome.

BEFORE

AFTER

What do we think?

Apologies for the delayed response and many many thanks for all your ideas!

Here are a couple of stills of the footage – one shot flat and one with the lens. I’m scanning through the rushes now to see if I can find any shots without the actor stood there….:S

Flat

through lens

I can handle the colour correction so don’t worry about that! Thanks!

Thanks a lot everyone – I love the idea of adding a colour Kelly, I’m going to have play with it now.

I don’t have the Magic Bullet software but will look into it, and Tim, I have played with and created an S curve as per your advice. Will upload a new version soon 🙂

In the meantime, any more ideas are very welcome!
