For this competition the brief was
"You just have to bounce - ideally somewhere daring or unusual - and capture it on film. Photo or video is OK - but videos are more fun because you can add a "boing" soundtrack. Which we like."
Competition Website
I used an old effects test clip and added an animated title and comic sound effects. While I'm not bouncing in the clip I thought it fitted in well with this definition of the word
bounce
v. bounced, bounc·ing, bounc·es
1. A sudden bound, spring, or leap.
To create the effect I basically filmed a shot of myself jumping upwards in the distance and then a shot of me entering the frame from above and landing closer to the camera and finally a shot without me in frame, all while the camera was in a fixed position. I then cut the video at the highest point of my jump and captured the frame. I edited the frame in photoshop so only my body was remaining and exported the image back into the timeline. At this point I replaced the background footage with the footage I had shoot of me not in frame and animated the still image to carry on my jump up and out of the frame. After a second I replaced the background footage to that of me entering the frame from above and landing in front of the camera. To finish the effect I added a bit of blur and camera shake and sound effects.
For this version I added some comedy sound effects which I felt would be more fitting for this competition. I also added a small animated title sequence.
Software: Adobe Premiere Pro 1.5, Adobe After Effects 6.5, Adobe Photoshop CS
Recording Equipment: Panasonic NV-GS70
Tutorials:
MLS Studios - This tutorial probably explains it better than I can but uses exactly the same methods.
Inspirations:
Super Powers Jumping - These guys have done a few superhero effects this is one of my favourites, great comment by the person who thinks its real!.
My brother also made a clip of his son which hes entered, which has a more bouncy feel than mine.
