Greenscreen: Free Falling Background

[Excaliber]

Its a long shot but im using my HV 30 and a Greenscreen and I wanted to film an actor "falling" on the greenscreen, then put in a freefalling background, Ive done a google search for video backgrounds But havent been able to find anything...

...does anyone have or know of a good video or even cheesy gif animation of a background where there are building windows passing, as if the actor just jumped to their death?!?

Any help or other video effects forum link suggestions would be awesome! Thanks!

I'd try to make my own. Look for a nice public building in town with a staircase that has windows, shoot some pictures with a photo cam on each level, stitch them together in Photoshop and use the background with some motion blur in your video editor.

In addition to that, make sure the motion is not all uniform. It will not look realistic if your stitched image is going just straight down. Vary the speed a bit and have the image shake side to side a bit.

Or pick a building that you can shoot from far away, zoom in, and tilt down. Looks a lot like a fall since the shift of perspective is small, and more organic than a keyframed shot. /m

Ahh you beat me to it, haha. I would advise the same thing.

That's a very good idea, I might use a trick someday.
