Oscar being Iron man Effects

Putting my video together was quite hard to do because I had to find the right looking laser blast footage on youtube and there at loads! It was also hard because I had to make the colours of the both blasts the same colour scheme as the video of Oscar, so this meant me looking at the video of about an hour just changing the colour of the blasts so that they match up right.

After doing that I then had to position the blasts so that they look like they are coming out of Oscars chest, this meant making them both a 3D layer so that I could get them in the right angle as Oscar was stood. Another thing I had to do was I had t use a mask on the energy blast because Oscars arm is in front of the blast so I had to hide part of the energy blast to make it look like it was going behind his arm. I also had to move the position on the laser blast and key frame it behind Oscar and then key frame it again in front of him so that it looks like the blast is moving forwards out of his chest, Using another mask so that it hides the laser blast when it's behind Oscar.  

All in all I feel like I've done a good job with this even though the content of the video is a bit childish but I just wanted it to look a bit more epic than what it should actually be. There are a couple of things I would change like making the blast look more like it is bursting out of the chest by adding more of a flash when it comes out or something like that. I'd also use a motion tracker to Oscars body so that I can attach it to the blast, this will make the effects look more realistic in my opinion. However this whole thing was just for fun and it does what I wanted it to do which was to make Oscar look like Iron Man.
