Wondering if this is possible?

[youngfilmmaker]

I am wondering if this is possible.... I am wondering if what i want to do is have a two guys standing and when the guy 1 says here is you luggage i want the luggage appear how can i do this effect?

[theChad]

pause the camera and put the luggage in said boys hand making sure everyone stands very still while it happens.


oorrr

you could download the latest in 3d animation techology and render an amazing 3d likeness of luggage and add it in, in post production

[youngfilmmaker]

ok...how can i pause the camera i have a GL2?

[2nd_Recon]

how do you stop the shot? Thats pausing it

[theChad]

the same button you use to record. So I guess Stop the camera, put it in his hands, and start the camera again.

[youngfilmmaker]

OK
KOOL THXS

[2nd_Recon]

be sure your actors remain ABSOLUTLEY still in between, orhterwise it will look pretty bad

[SgtPadrino]

As someone who is working his a** off trying to save the money for a new camera.... you have a GL2 and you don't know where the pause button is.... no offense, but I hate you. I really do.

[Gyro]

I agree.

[UFProductions]

Don't even pause it, just edit out the middle portion where you put the luggage in the hand. Actually scratch that, don't do anything, mail the camera to me.

[theChad]

that makes more sense yes. andif anyone should have a camera mailed to them...*shakes fist*

Haha, that made my day.

[Epsilon]

Answering your question: Yes, it is possible.

[youngfilmmaker]

man do you guys hate me?

[SgtPadrino]

Yeah. Not only do I hate you, I loathe you. I hate your entire family. I hope they're torn apart by a pack of rabid dogs. If I ever see you on the street, I'll bash your f*** face in with a baseball bat. THEN we'll see who doesn't like hot dogs.

Gotta love The Onion

[2nd_Recon]

The Onion is awesome

And we're b*itching at the fact that someone who is as new at amateur films would have a GL2

[SgtPadrino]

Well gosh, maybe that's because GL2's are high end cameras that run about two to three thousand bucks a pop?

[Scott_Talbot]

let me guess. it looked cool, and your parents credit card was ready.


thats ok, i always wished that would have happened to me

[theChad]

I don't hate you, I just wish I had your camera.

[youngfilmmaker]

lol...

[reflexive_cinematics]

just mask it in

for someone whose Member name is "youngfilmaker" you know very little about filmmaking.....

[bretoncrackers]

now there's some creative criticism.... "you know very little about film making". If you're the expert, then why don't you toss out a suggestion other than "you dont know s***", cuz if it were me, it wouldn't be all that inspiring to go make another film.

As for the forum topic, your best bet would be to follow theChad's advice and film to separate shots, one with the luggage and one without and keep your actors still. A quick cross dissolve would make it look a bit nicer, and if you want to go "old fashion" you could cgi a puff of smoke or try doing one using some of the pyro tips in another forum. good luck

my only answer to this will be..."are you on your period?"......
