Dressing to Impress!

I wasn't happy with some of the looped footage I'd cut from the footage, so decided to film a bit of my own stuff, with the same intent of using it in the background of the shots. I'm not ruling out using the cuts, I'll have to see how they look, but it would be nice to get some better stuff filmed for the main focus of shots. As I also wanted to do some further green screen filming anyway, I figured I'd kill two birds with one stone.

So, first things first, I needed the appropriate gear. I went out and invested in some old fashioned clothing that would suit the era. I got a jacket, flat cap, and scarf, with the intention of just using my own trousers and boots...

All in all, the outfit cost just over a tenner, which would hopefully be a small price to pay for the results I aimed to get from this.

As the footage would only ever be seen in the background anyway, I wasn't too concerned with exact details, so for the task in hand, this outfit would do. Colour wasn't an issue really either, as the footage would ultimately be rendered black and white to fit in with the old photos, so it's all good.

While the outfit provided a good body, I needed to add something to my face. So I invested in a little disguise kit...

I actually bought this for a joke, but felt it would be ideal for the task in hand here! Look at the sheer range of star studded facial hair on offer...
