I’ve just entered the SFM video competition! 

Oddly enough I managed to come in under 1 minute despite using my green screen set up and a compilation of pictures I’ve taken since moving to our seaside home. 

Feel free to take a look if you’d like to see the finished results (please don’t share though as it is an unlisted video purely for the competition.

See the video here 

For those of you are interested I put this together as follows:

I used my DSLR and a tieclip mic (taped to my chest - ouch!) to shoot myself against the green screen which is on one wall of my home office. 

I then imported it to Screenflow (my favourite video editor) along with a selection of photos in and around my home. 

The green screen was lit by two studio lamps with the black out blind drawn - it’s another beautiful day here so far too much light coming through the window.

None of this stuff, apart from the camera which I have anyway, was expensive and Screenflow is a very easy piece of software to learn. 

Anyway hope you like it and maybe take some inspiration from it. And of course I hope it wins a prize!

Cheers!
