lol, well what about halloween?
(Personally like Purim better, we deliver candy instead, and there’s no horror element to it, but that’s just me.)

Glad you liked the video! Yeah my friends and fam enjoyed, I even entered it into some Purim costume contests, wish me luck! 🙂

I finished the video!

Thanks everyone for their help!

I know it looks super amateur, but i hope you enjoy it and try not cringe too much, lol.

Ok thanks guys, I’m going to search for some fire AE tutorials, if there are any you can recommend, please post.

Using kerosene soaked ropes would probably be a lot more fun and look much better, but since I accidentally set fire to my mothers favorite tablecloth during a different production a few months ago, I really am trying to stay away from using real fire… 🙂

Thanks everyone for their help and suggestions, I’ve already started working on the video! (I’ll post it here when it gets finished next week…)

Hmm, maybe, for most of the first scene he’s separated from Marty and behind an almost completely black background, so I was hoping it would be easy for me to splice myself in…

The second scene in the car might have to be that way, thanks for the suggestion!

Thank you Michael for taking the time to write a response! It is greatly appreciated!

Yeah, the few times I have used keying I do have issues because of the color resolution, so I will read that tutorial.

Will definitely read the tutorials, I plan on splitting every cut of the two scenes I plan on using, so I will have a better idea of what exactly I want to do. Thanks for posting those tutorials, I will check them out!

Hmm, I’m not sure I can get kerosene soaked ropes… any way to simulate it?

I’m not striving for perfection here, this is just a fun video to go with the costume and show my friends (Religious holiday, Purim, is coming up… it’s kind of like a Jewish halloween..) I just love using Adobe After Effects and trying to learn new effects…

Oh I watched all of the Video Copilot Basic Training videos as soon as I got After Effects… they were extremely helpful! 🙂
