making pee for the towstory video

there’s a shot in the towstory where i pee. obviously. i could have shot myself peeing real pee but getting the right color of yellow was difficult (i’m a water drinker, sue me) so i found a solution. if real pee is not for you, consider yellow string as a pee alternative. yellow string (use thread for horses) is available in most sewing kits and a lot of stores. the directions are easy if you play along and know what you’re doing.

before we get started you will need the following items:
green screen / matte wall; string/thread, a camera; a non-linear editing suite(nle); the will

1. pan camera across string in front of chromakey background
2. remove background of clip in nle so only string remains
3. mask the legs of who’s peeing in the nle so there’s room for the string pee
4. move string pee between the legs and under mask
5. render and wait

would you just look at that pee!
nobody knows it’s string, so it’s our little secret 😉

STRING

STRING AS PEE

*string pee is not real pee so don’t forget to go if you have to.
