hey what's up ladies and gentlemen I'm Ignace Aleya and today it's quite a
special video ever since I was a kid I was amazed by magic more than anything
the surreal part of it and the creativity of impossible visions of
other people just inspired me it became a big passion of mine movies
such as Harry Potter were my favorite back in the days I think that's
partially the reason why I became a visual effects artist so I could to
become a wizard with a computer designing my own life my ideas my vision
it's just awesome now my girlfriend knows about this and yesterday she was
in a small tiny store here in Ghent Belgium it was hidden very well actually
but it attracted her so much that she actually went inside the store was full
of amazing things full of things that she has never ever seen before but there
was one particular item that struck her it was just amazing that she actually
found this she found a 100% replica of the Harry Potter's invisibility cloak I
know right it's hard to believe but I actually have it right here because she
loves me so much that she actually bought it for me so let me show you I
have it right here so let me take it up
how cool is this right all right
you probably don't see me right now but here I am
alright that's super cool come on you gotta be serious right here this is
next-level and I can show you how to do this right after this
all right so let's see how I did this in Adobe Premiere Pro it's actually quite a
simple workflow all you need is a camera on the tripod and a green blanket just
like this one right here so I have this green blanket that I used for the
effects well put some links in the description below so you can go and
check that out if you want one for yourself how cool is this right all
right you probably don't see me right now but here I am you could also work
with other colors green is just a cord that keys very well and then you just
record your shot well you're in the green blanket that's our depth you would
record a few seconds without yourself in the shot so you have a clean plate
actually the toothaches on this one because I didn't actually think of
shooting outside with a green screen where everything else is also green like
the grass and the trees and that made the shop a little bit more difficult but
here's what I came up with I know right that's so awesome oh my god
you can probably not see me right now how cool is that
boom I'm right here it also looks okay but like the shadow areas were a little
bit dodgy so I preferred redoing my shoot inside where there is no green in
my background it's a little bit better to work with and then you have this new
video so once you have your video imported in Adobe Premiere Pro and then
bring it in a new sequence all to drag that video on a new layer so now you
have two identical video clips this is able the top layer for now and then we
will concentrate ourselves on the first layer or the first clip
find a spot where you are not in the shot so we're going to be using our
clean plate right away so find that frame where you are not in the shop and
then right-click on your footage and go to frame halt options choose source
timecode and hit OK now you have a frozen clip
with that exact source timecode now you can enable your top clip again and here
we want to apply a keying effect go to effects keying ultra key here select the
puppet tool and select a mid green color then depending on your shot you'll have
to adjust everything a bit to your preferences the settings that work for
me where transparency 35 highlight zero shadow 50 tolerance and pedestal at 100
joke and soft and also at 100 the contrast to zero and that's it so that
worked best for me I also disabled all the spill effects and suppressors just
to have my clean image and boom you have your awesome Harry Potter invisibility
cloak effect how cool is this right of course the shadows sometimes
are a little bit too strong so you can animate these when you want to hide it
completely you can do that by bringing the effect lower but it would also
interfere with yourself like for example in my hair it would interfere so be
careful that you are not in the shot while doing so and that's basically it
