Airbrushing
posted September 11, 2006
We experimented a bit with Ken's airbrush yesterday, attempting to create lines of "trim" on a sample bit of underarmour material. It took a few attempts, but we finally got it to apply the way we wanted it to. But it looks as if it will take a couple coats, in order for it to have a bright enough color.
This isn't a problem, but the color may be. We got some bottles of "sky blue" fabric paint, and while they are certainly sky blue, they aren't exactly the color I expected. They're very pale -- almost white. I'm not convinced it will show up as anything other than white on camera, which could make chroma keying on that color impossible. I'm going to test it out tonight with the DVX100 and Adobe After Effects.
If the color turns out to be to light, we'll just have to order a darker blue. It only took a few days to get it shipped to us, last time, so hopefully we can still get this ready by next week.
