Knowing where you are part II

Another way of letting people know what they are viewing is by actually showing them on a map. To prototype this I had to make a short film using about a hundred still images from 192.com. Each still image had to be photoshoped to show exactly what point on the map the viewer was at. I did this intially using a red dot.

To integrate this navigation screen into the footage I had to learn how to make a split screen movie. I'd never used Premier Pro before but I found this tutorial which made everything much easier. . .

In my first attempt at the split screen video I decided to split the screen about 60-40 with the navigation footage at the right hand-side of the screen.
