3) Pug McCain



This is the one that really got the ball rolling for me.

I was talking to a friend on g-chat, and he mentioned that he was making a video using the video of McCain in front of the green screen. You can see his here. I decided to do one too, and I instantly knew what I was going to put in the green screen. THIS!

Pugs rule.

Anyway, I downloaded the McCain footage from colbertnation.com and delved into it. I would find out that trying to take out a green screen in Premiere is pretty frustrating. I used the Color Key and Chroma Key effects, and it took a lot of tweaking before I got a result I was happy with. Later I would learn that in AE I could get a better result in about 5% of the time. Oh well. I think it turned out ok.
