4) Teh Force...I haz it

This was my first project in AE. I took out the green screen using the same color and chroma keys in AE, then I followed the Hologram Tutorial by Creative Cow to turn our next president (god help us) into the evil Sith lord that he is. Now if we can only get Sarah Palin into the slave Leia bikini...or not.

Anyway, the result isn't as clean as I'd like it. I've since found better export settings, and I've also added a bunch of plug-ins that would have made this video look better and easier to make.

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.

2) Strippers and Cartoons

This is the music video I made for Awesome Cool Dudes. The song is called "French Canadian Valentine" and will be on their next album which is tentatively called "Black Titty." Best. Title. Evar.

For this I solely used Premiere, and I tried to incorporate as many of the effects as I could get a grasp of. I found all of the footage at archive.org. Truly a great site.

It took about 4-5 days to finish it, and I really want to do another one soon.
