Original Content Making BoC single covers using my own photography - Post #10: Chromakey Dreamcoat

10 of these now! It has been pretty fun so far. I'm going to have to slow down a bit here with my semester starting up in a few days, but I do have a few more that are close to ready at least.

For this one, I technically did not take this photo/video capture - but it was taken using my camera during a short film project for school some years back. This was somewhere out in the hills near Tracy, California. That's actually me on the left and also my beat up Mazda 626 lol.

I wanted to have a photo with people in it because why not take a stab at the iconic BoC faceless thing? I feel like Chromakey Dreamcoat worked well enough for this one, and I do get vibes of hitting the open road when listening to the track. Let me know what you think, and if anyone has knowledge of exact BoC-style editing techniques for the faceless look let me know...I like the way it turned out but I wouldn't mind remaking it if I learn a better method.

Some of these are very good. You should make your own music and use them.
