Little Mr. Chens

I taught a movie making class this year at St. Lukes school, a private school in the West Village. One of the assignments that I gave my students was to come up with a commercial. This commercial had to take a product, present the problem, offer a solution, and show how the product has made everyone's life easier. In the original assignment, I told them that they HAD to use an already existing product. But when they came up with the idea of a Little Mr. Chen, I could not say no. It sounded too good to pass up.

The project allowed me to introduce use of a green screen and other special effects. Enjoy!

  3. Dude... that is too awesome. Which program did you use for green screening? I taught mini-film classes at church before but they had to use my software to play with green screens (which sucked).

  4. 50 years from now when the Aliens invade our world, they will see this clip and decide this planet is not worth taking over.
