The colour change digitally isn't working out great coz i not only had red eyes from allergy to the eyeliner, but i had a red light and it lit up my eyeballs too so picking "skin tone" to change green kinda just changed my eyeballs green. LAME. haha!! Ah well have to use it tho haha...

Adobe already crashed and i lost hours of work. So off to a good start...
Already trying out a thumbnail! I think it looks sick! But you know i'll have about 20 versions to go...i have some funny ones too!

I decided to take the day to change my eye colour (hand tracked, poorly). While i loved the red eye look it just didn't translate with the colour filter so unfortunately i am going with a subdued blue. the vibrant colours just look really patchy and the natural green just blends in too much all monochrome :) The digital editing is a little sloppy due to the lighting i used. live and learn. haha

I really want to try get some contrasting contact lenses. I've never worn them before and i can tell i may not like the experience but i want to try at least. It's going to be a bit of a set up (contact solution etc) but i'd love to at least get bright blue and violet lenses! Sounds fun fun fun!

I went for a purple/pink light saber...but i could change the colour...

FUN FACT when i was little i thought it was a light saver. LOL

Created my own particle system for smoke- hand tracked. I think it kinda works! it's $300 for the plug in to make it look like incense smoke so bonfire smoke it is, haha.  Maybe the gravity is weird on this planet? haha

Here is the itinerary and wishes: We on day 3 atm!
BASICALLY TOOK A MONTH : brains storm. write script and think about costume and video, construct bgs
day before form ear cones. find music, edit bg images to use, create light saber sound.
day of aka day 1: record lines to feed in ear, paint ear cones. Organise the lekku with ribbon, pick costume clothing. Make up. Film. (till 6am haha)
day 2: edit into cuts, about 3h. start constructing bg video with alien elements, about 6h?!?! The skeleton is done.
day 3: Lose a few hours work. Create and animate smoke manually, Change and manually track eye colour, animate light saber, form half of the trippy effects, finish tomorrow..?
day 4: Finish trippy effects. edit another 5m “back only – back ground”. Record aliens to put in bg mabye?? And edit the panning (yes and no)? Add smoke layers to bg too.
day 5: Bg ambience sound.
day 6: EQ, limiter and sound effects. RENDERRR??? (hopefully it doesn’t take a week)

Hopefully I will be done in 2-3 days! I will put the video on patreon just a night before because it's taken me too long.... hopefully u guys will get a chance to view it - I will be posting the draft early and taking ur feedback too of course!! :)

Yes, pic 1/12 is the coolest one. And the one with the storm trooper feeling the groove (8/12) looks like he's had a little too much Jawa juice, haha I have about the level of tech savvy of a drunken Gundark (obscure Star Wars reference) but... let me know if there is any way I can pitch in and help you. By the way, those hand written letters are such a lovely gesture, but this is much more important so it's totally cool to let those sit on the back burner until you're through all this. I want you to be as happy with the end result as we all will be :)
