| Can
you tell us a bit about how you went about creating
some of your most important projects?
As far as important projects
go, I can offer you the documentary on the presentation
of Compo de Calatrava, the TV ad for La Peña paints, the advertising
campaign for the FARMACA for these last three
years and other infomercials for ELCOGAS and REPSOL.
All these works that needed
closer attention and a superior quality were made
with the Video Toaster.
We're very pleased with all
our work and in fact, we strive to add our special
touch and attention to detail to every job we
undertake so that the final product is as good
as possible. However, certain jobs still stand
out from the rest. For example, the documentary
"Land of Knights" is one of my favourites because
the whole story is recounted by an actor playing
the part of a knight and the whole look of the
thing is very cinematic. We shot in Digital S,
then everything was captured without compression,
graded scene by scene and special effects, graphic
elements and titles were created, all on the Video
Toaster.
Another project that has distinguished
itself above others, and that needed the Video
Toaster's special touch, is the FENAVIN campaign
for this year. It was completely filmed on DVC
Pro 50 for the needs of an infomercial on the
presentation and also for a TV ad. The infomercial
seems simple at first glance, but it has very
sophisticated graphical elements placed in the
scenery where the images come from. These elements
are made in LightWave and retouched in Aura.
These two programs have everything
need for this kind of work and come as standard.
The ad for FENAVIN
has given us the most work — even though
it only has a simple camera move, it has needed
a lot of compositing work. One of the sections
of the film meant that we had to film an actor
using chromakeying to place him in London. We
therefore filmed him on a green background so
that we could composite him with scenes of London
taken from an image bank. To make the chromakey
easily we used Digital Fusion. Once all the scenes
were colour corrected we had something we could
edit very easily in Toaster Edit and we obtained
a truly astounding result.
