Can you guess how I made this?

Ha! Yeah there is a BlackMagic ATEM TV Studio HD in the setup. There is also a Blackmagic h.264 recorder and SDI-HDMI converter.

@professor yes the image is scan reversed. You can see the text on my shirt is backwards. But that would be rad if I could write backwards that well.

@Shivam_Shah there are a few of these setups around - it’s called a lightboard. You have to light the glass itself and have the background as dark as possible. I built it at work last week. There’s also a green screen in there.

Close - the wall is actually painted black.

That’s still cool though. I didn’t pay too much attention to your shirt so thought you could write backwards :joy:

I’d say stop/go camera, and has already been said, just flipped it on play back… Or recorded in mirror image.

#11

Glass and you’re writing backwards (phone to show how to do it backwards)

Pretty cool though!

Close! Scan reverse in real time with a Decimator MD-HX

Of course, I could write backwards if I wanted to :grin:

The phone was actually to remind what the ANKER logo looked like :laughing:

This is cool, spent sometime thinking about it :smiley:

How were the cameras setup to capture the writing and the reverse thing

This looks so cool! Can’t wait to see you apply this in your video. :grin:

I also promised to hang it from a tree on a mile-high mountain. Plus I’m going to throw it in a lake. :sunglasses:

When you get done with it, feel free to send it over to me!

Ya, unless you are using a large screen or a magnifier to see the text on shirt…
@gAnkster good job bro… I see so many videos of this type, writig/drawing on white board to explain things and they look neat…
was thinking they are all fake and made by some software and not by human… Now I have to believe you…

I don’t think it’s stop motion…

Not stop motion - I used Camtasia to speed up the video, then exported to a GIF so it makes it look like stop motion (technically because it is a GIF it is stop motion - at 10 FPS). Originally I recorded it in 4K but it took forever to draw the logo (hence me looking at my phone) so I had to speed it up. Also, I downsized it considerably so I could make a 3MB GIF so the forum would let me upload it directly :laughing:
