Scott Jolley Posted May 5, 2007 Share Posted May 5, 2007 What we used to do back in the day was shoot thur glass or some other transparency, shoot title cards or some other artwork, real low tech, now that I think about it, I should try some for a different look.

Premium Member Chris Keth Posted May 5, 2007 Premium Member Share Posted May 5, 2007 You could cut your titles out of black paper and then put each card on a light table and shoot that to get something really simple. You could also figure out something themed similar to that of your film. I'm thinking of something like the scrapbook titles in Amelie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Alvin Ekarma Posted May 5, 2007 Share Posted May 5, 2007 You could use transparencies used for overhead projectors. Just whip up something in Photoshop or word and take the file to an office supply place to make the transparencies, but you may have to double up because I don't know if the black parts will be dense enough on their own. Or how about this: you could shoot a LCD computer/TV monitor? Knock something out in premiere or Final cut or photoshop, and bam! (At least I think this would work; there aren't issues w/ shooting an LCD monitor right?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope, LCDs are safe at all usual speeds. Something probably happens at very high speeds, but I'm just guessing about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
