Power Lord 3













(This one sucks) In my compositing class we were given the entertaining task of creating the trailer for "Power Lord 3". Our teacher came up with the music and narration, and we had to combine many different elements to fuel the spot. The idea was to find creative ways to use the elements: like using a candle flame as the engine on the spaceships, or creating interactive lightning on a boy that wasn't really in the scene. We also had to solve problems like creating alpha channels for elements that didn't come with any, or figuring out which composite modes are best suited for dding smoke or light into a scene.

Yes, I realize how corny it is. The compression of the online video is so awful, but you can hopefully still appreciate what was done by comparing it to the still images of the original elements.
