Editing - implements



the video is themed on having a interrupting TV theme – because it relates to the show, where the futurama show would have an introduction where the planet express ship crashes into a monitor screen.
For the introduction this theme was implemented to show off the characters from the show I model it from.





Green screen elements like the planet express ship which was sourced from the internet to transition the introduction to the first scene.




Static TV segments are also seen through out the video to transition the scene and keep the video themed to the source material.





Static TV pigments can be seen throughout the whole video to relate to the source theme of the video, in the whole video it is being shown on a bad TV theme.





A number of sound effects were implemented into the video along with the dramatic music and the futurama program theme to help give the video more sounds of the lift going up, button pressing just to name a few.




Lastly the video ends with a blank static screen to finish the video off to match the introduction.

Exporting, lighting and background problem




I have Improved the footage using a light tracer in the render settings before the footage was rendered out a bit over exposed without any shadows etc.




But as effective as the light tracer is, exporting scenes with the light tracer was a long and annoying process,  doing several tests to make sure it was working as i wanted it to, in the advance lighting settings I found I could speed up the export process by changing the sample spacing from 16x16 to 32 by 32 and subdivision setting to 200, which processed this scene shown in the screen shot a lot quicker.
I had to find a quicker solution because some of my scenes have more than 200 frames and with the light tracer that will take hours to export, so changing these settings I can export these scenes quicker whilst keeping the detail of the scenes with shadows etc.
 




With the light tracer taking a long time to export my video scenes, the scenes that had over 200 frames would be a nightmare so I tried other ways to get the video to look not so over exposed and not using a light tracer
Without finding a suitable or better light from 3ds max I used the same sky light as in my opinion was the best, but to solve the over exposed images when rendering I changed the sky light colour to a grey colour resulting in no over exposure in my video scene.


Example of over exposure footage:




Problems with the render not liking planes I use for a background sky, but a solution was  a box preset, that’s render-able, but sometimes the plane will render and other times it does not. 
 
Background sky render examples:




Without:
                                                    Shadowless, not very good footage.




With:
Looks more presentable, has shadows.
