Yeah. You can...yeah. Don't worry about it.

Hee hee. Our schedule right now goes in order of recording.

Shaun tomorrow, then Planet Terror, then The Shining, then Slither, then Body Snatchers. After that it's back to the regularly unscheduled crapshoot, but I like the Priest commentary quite a bit and it's sure to come up soon.

Not to say I won't get a wild hair and post a secret link to it sometime before then. It's happened before.

Aw. You're a good chatter.

We'll live, but aw. Awwwww.

Rack focuses are one of the tricks, like adding noise or shake or fucking lens flares, that can be a big help in tying a composited element into the scene. If you match the focus right, anyway.

I wouldn't use a blue screen for that, but you don't want it blank, because you'll need to be able to see the corners when it's out of focus. I'd probably use one of those brightly colored post-it sticker notes, divide it into four little squares a centimeter or two across, and paste those on the inside corners of the screen.

Track, get your corner pin data.

Then go back over them with the color of the screen, before adding anything to it. So it's like they were never there. You should be able to to just make a solid layer the color of that region of the screen for each corner and use your existing tracks to stick them on.

Then add screen, enjoy beer.

Good trick: you can actually track each corner on individual nulls and then link the corner pins to their respective nulls with a pick-whip expression.

That'd be a good start, yeah.

I make less than 80k a year, and would probably be willing to go as high as forty or fifty bucks if I'm buying something north of a grand. A new computer or something, sure. Absolutely.

Ha. Both of them make me head-desk equally.

Dude. That was awesome, especially for a first anything. It would blow my mind if you did one for DIF, it might even be cool to have on the front page until Project Halp is done.

Hell, maybe even after.
