Blue Screen Expoerts Help

[Greg Crawford]

Best guess could my older (1950s) wind up 16 mm camera hold registration for 3 to 5 seconds on the following:

Godzilla type scene - City street with people ruing down the sidewalk. In the street a car is being crushed by a giant foot. Blue screen Giant foot coming down on a photograph of a crushed car. (play the video backwards, foot lifting off crushed vehicle.

Add that piece of business to the following:

Blue screen - of people running in front of the city street, crushed car and monster foot. I know, I know some of you are thinking why don't you do it in Super 8 or Video.

Any ideas?

Hi there!
If you're using a Bolex, or some other camera that has a good pressure plate and/or dual pin registration, you should be okay. A shakey image due to poor registration will ruin your compsition set up.
Also, make sure that your blue/green screen is lit evenly, (you might want to place scrims in front of your lights as to avoid hotspots).

Good Luck
