While in Los Angeles in the Fall of 2018, we were assigned to make a music video for our Inside Entertainment class. We all voted on each other's ideas, and the song “Dying in LA”, by Panic! At the Disco, was chosen. I was mainly tasked with doing visual effects for the music video. This included a scene where movie stars from the past were appearing on the Hollywood Walk of Fame to the main character. The scene involved masking actors and green screen keying in After Effects.
In the first pass I tried to emulate the visual style of the era that each actor was supposed to be representing.
It was decided that the sequence was not shown long enough for viewers to grasp the idea, so I gave the characters a more apparition like appearance in hopes that it would be less confusing.
