making a green screen

So i wanted to build a green screen stage for making stop-motion animation. This way can shoot the movie on it and digitally insert the back ground and we wouldnt have to spent money or time building every set for each sence.

Making a movie

So i've been working on a story book for a few years and i decided to make it into a animated movie using 3d graphic mdeling program to create the background and scences. And using stopmotion animation for the charcters. By using a green screen effect and composting the two together in a video editing program. This scene is just a test while i work out some program efects in 3d.

I didnt get a chance to take photo's of the final build that shows the painting and making of the fin's.But i was working till the last min and didnt have time to take photo's and i was realing stressed out. And i worked to the last min of the race.

Bondo for the next layer

After making the fiberglass shell i used bondo for the final layer of skin to make it stronger. It was the most painful thing ive ever done. Took me all day just to cover it with the bondo.And the sandy was just ass bad.

Fiber glass work

Next comews the resin to make everything in to fiber glass and let me tell you this is one of the most hardest thing ever to do when your making something this big.Frist time ive done fiberglass on something this over sized and resin really smell bad so i hhad to keep stoping every few mins.

Mixing this stuff always a pain. you never know if u got it right or not. No matter what it say's on the can it's still a pain. and You got about 15 min between caost before it starts to heat up and burn.

Finishing the frame and stapling the fleence

Ok so i managed to remove the body frame of the soapbox car, which makes it possiable for to fix some thing in siade the car if i had too.But i have to amit i was scared that the whole thing was going to break apart as so as i did it. But that never happened so i didnt have to go kill some one.





Then i got the fleence already to staple to the frame. which will be caoted in resin later makes fiberglass. really kool.



Ryan gave me a hand in the final steps to stapling can my hand was killing me.
