Nice key. Mind if I ask what your light kit consisted of? And I'm baffled by your 1-take parlor-trick. (Don't tell me! I want to figure it out)

Very cool story, too. :cool:
 
Cool :cool:

Good spot. I also like the trick, I'm assuming the solution involves manually retracting your hand into your arm?
 
Effective use of masking and greenscreen compositing! I noticed that the arms taking the items out are brighter than the ones that are actually attached to your torso (which grab the chair and film can). Pretty good slowdown of your turning body (at one point) to match the grabbing arm.

What really makes it work, is that you planned it out well and did it in a long take.

Great promo, too!

I used this kit with 500w bulbs http://www.amazon.com/JTL-TL-2250-Everlight-Boom-Kit/dp/B001AFX4CA/ref=pd_sxp_f_pt

Close... I have bendable forearms.

It's my first green screen shoot, and my first use of Synthetic Aperture. I should have spent more time on it and done more takes, but I'm like a giddy school girl who is just anxious to show off her new Barbie.

Sooo... you know Kevin Smith?
Kinda.

You should be giddy, it's fricken great. I only noticed, because I was so impressed that I took a second look. Everybody else will be looking at the stuff coming out of the can. Just as cool was how you conveyed the story in one minute.
