It's not done yet. It is part of a large film ET Ent. is
currently working on. Major shooting days are Wednesday
and Friday, so check back.

Here is the News Anchor video:

That intro was really good, and the background you used was good, but his placing behind the desk seems a bit... I dunno, odd. There's something off about it, but it's some really great green screen.

what did you use for the green?

He looks like he is standing and not sitting behind the desk. And it is strange not to see his arms and hands.

Think about it, have you ever seen a newscaster sitting at the desk w/o his arms and hands showing? And they usually have something for them to do with their hands like hold some copy, even if they are not reading off it.

Maybe put a prop on the desktop like a cup of coffee.

hmmmm...yeah, after I saw it a couple of times I knew something was wrong.
But it's hard for me to tape him showing his hands on the desk because we're working
in a very tight space, but when it's part of a movie, and it's only 30 secs, you won't notice much. It's pretty good for 2 hours of work (most of the time was taken due to the voice over)

I used a green fabric you can find at any local
fabric store (I got it from Jo Ann's)

Maybe get in tighter and make it a head and shoulders shot and/or use some scene footage in the background in place of the newsroom set.

Well I can just lower him in back of the desk, I don't have to reshoot any footage.

But I don't know, I'm still working on the movie, major shooting starts on Wednesday...I still have time, I'll be done with it a bit before Halloween.

"Well I can just lower him in back of the desk, I don't have to reshoot any footage."

If you do that maybe zoom in on him to get the scale right. The newsanchor seems a bit smaller than the set if you know what I mean.
