progWorked all day trying to get a really clever bluescreen backdrop idea to work. It's just not happening... the source footage just isn't cooperating, no matter how many sick matte-hacks I discover and apply. (I invented my own way, for example, to remove an arbitrary area from a clip's alpha channel, an operation that ended up being necessary for ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
mrmorse's bluejeans after all.) Sigh. I'll have to find an excuse to use the idea on a future show -- one where we'll come in with knowledge of how to set up a chroma-keyable shoot in the first place.
At least I learned a lot about FCP.
The footage looks OK without the effect, but it would be so much better with it. Sob, sob. Just let it go, jmac. OK.
Had a really good business meeting, our first since incorporating. Withjtroutman's help we started thinking about plausible numbers to put in the business plan. The unexpected thing is, the numbers are really actually very good. That is, as long as we keep a tiny overhead, we can turn a profit in fairly short order, if allowed to make several optimistic but not at all unreasonable or unfounded assumptions. That's pretty cool.
I have homework to do. I'm going to spend tomorrow not thinking about the show and doing this stuff instead. Honest.
That's about it for today.
