[Grandma] Hello.
[Meredith] `- [Meredith] Hi, Grandma.
[Grandma] Oh, hi.
[Meredith] So, I’m teaching this semester, um,
and I’m not sure when I’ll be able to finish the film.
[Grandma] Oh, what are you teaching?
[Meredith] I’m teaching special effects
in the film and video department.
[Grandma] What’s that?
[Meredith] It’s a way to, to sort of create magical
or fantastical elements in a movie.
Like, we could film you walking and take that footage
and suddenly an explosion happens behind you.
[Grandma] Oh, yeah?
[Meredith] Yeah.
[Grandma] Well, that should be interesting.
[melodic music]
[mouse clicking]
[Grandma] How you holding up?
[Meredith] Good.
How was breakfast?
You like that ring?
[Grandma] Mm-hmm.
Look at all them pretty salt and pepper shakers.
[Meredith] Don’t they look good?
[Grandma] Yeah.
So, you gonna hold it.
Can you see it?
And you’re gonna say take two.
No wait, don’t do it till I do it.
[Meredith] Okay.
Okay. You pull this up?
[Meredith] Yep.
When do I go?
[Meredith] Take two, you say take two and then do it.
Okay. Whenever I want to?
[Meredith] Yep.
Whoops, I didn’t want to.
[mouse clicking]
[Meredith] Okay, let’s go ahead and get started.
If everyone can see, I have this footage
that I shot of my Grandmother’s
salt and pepper shaker collection.
Let’s just go ahead and use that to create our compositions.

[piano music]
[mouse clicking]
[electrical buzzing]
[mouse clicking]
[Meredith] Tell me why you started collecting
salt and pepper shakers.
I did.
[Meredith] Yeah.
Oh, mercy. Okay.
[mouse clicking]
I started collecting my salt and pepper shakers
when I graduated from high school
and I started working in a five and 10.
And uh, so, I would dust their stuff all the time.
And they had some salt and pepper shakers
and so I thought, uh,
I just think I might want to collect them.
So, that’s how I got started.
[Meredith] So, I’m gonna have you look at these ducks
and tell me about them.
[Grandma] My first set I got,
were ducks dressed like ladies.
I had never seen these in a long time.
[Meredith] What year was that?
46′, I think.
[Meredith] What year is it now?
[Meredith laughing]
[electro music]
[Meredith] Okay. So, as you can see,
rotoscoping is a great way
to separate objects from the background.
Rotoscoping can be pretty tedious.
I love it though.
I could do it all day.
Mm-hmm.
Two feet, look at them.
Nail polish on their toes.
Penguins.
Cute little doggies.
Got a face on both sides, that’s unusual.
[Meredith] Now, what are these?
[Grandma laughing]
[Grandma] Those are outhouses.
I could look at these all day and enjoy each one.
[jolly music]
[teeth chattering]
[Meredith] Scary.
[Grandma laughing]
[Grandma] But anyway, I used to have to dust them too.
Before Joe made the case for me.
[mouse clicking]
[Speaker one] There’s Joe and Margie coming to celebrate
their 40th wedding anniversary.
Aren’t they a lovely couple?
Let’s get, let’s get lovey-dovey.
[Speaker Two] Oh, how sweet.
Sore shoulder.
[Speaker Two] Don’t get too frisky there Margie.
[everyone laughing]
[Speaker Two] Oh you, cut the camera.
[electro music]
[road exploding]
[Meredith] What are those Grandma?
[Grandma laughing]
[Grandma] Them are pipes.
[mushrooms clinging]
Mushrooms.
What kind of a car is that, a model T Ford you recon?
I think them are really keen you know it.
[Grandma laughing]
Meredith, now, you don’t need to show that one.
[both laughing]
[Meredith] What? Who gave you that one Grandma?
[Grandma] Well, I don’t know,
but they must have been tricky.
Now, I think these are picture of the devil.
[Meredith] They’re devils?
[Grandma] Yeah.
[Grandma laughing]
‘Course, I don’t know what the devil looks like, but.
These are guns.
[Meredith] So, what kind of guns?
[Grandma] Shootin’ guns, I don’t know.
[gun firing]
Pshew.
Got him.
[Meredith] You know, I remember when I was little
and I always wanted to get in there and touch ’em.
[Grandma] Uh-huh.
[Meredith] But ’cause of the glass we couldn’t.
[Grandma] Yeah, they’re trapped.
[children talking]
Yeah, I know when you was little you would just kind of
waddle up to the, where they were and wanting to get ’em.
And we had to say, no, Meredith.
[bright music]
Okay, so, subject lighting.
Generally, you wanna have at least eight to 10,
I would say at least five feet, but eight to 10 is ideal
between your subject and the green screen.

[telephone ringing]
[Grandma] Hello?
[Meredith] Hi Grandma.
[Grandma] Oh, hi.
[Meredith] I think I’m almost done with the film.
[Grandma] Oh, wonderful.
[Meredith] I can’t wait to see you
and I just wanted to say hi
and ask how you’re doing.
[Grandma] I’m probably, probably doing pretty good.
[Meredith laughing]
[Meredith] I’m glad to hear it.
[Grandma] Sure, good to talk to you, Meredith.
[Meredith] Good to talk to you. Love you lots.
[Grandma] Love you.
[Meredith] Bye.
[Grandma] Bye.
[dramatic music]
[mouse clicking]
What’s this movie about?
[Grandma laughing]
[keyboard typing]
[calm music]
[Meredith] Say it again.
[Grandma] What’s this movie about?
[Meredith] I mean, I think it’s just about us, you know.
It’s about you and me and how we are.
Aren’t we silly?
[Grandma laughing]
I don’t know If you can see all the way back there,
Grandma?
Yeah.

Uh-huh.
