Rotobrushing

The last couple of days I have been editing my monitor footage ready for tracking this week. I have been rotobrushing the t-shirts of each of the versions of Paul to make them stand out when viewed on the monitors, and so far its looking pretty good, I’m interested to see what it looks like [...]

3rd/4th November, Film Shoot

Monitor Test 3

Here is another test I did trying to motion track more than one clip to two different monitors. The first one work fine but I did have problems with the second clip (the blue one) but I think that’s only because tracked it with no markers. It doesn’t look that bad so I think tracking [...]
