Background problem
Hi guys, need your great help (again). I recently shot two shots two weeks apart. In one shot a tree is clearly bare two short weeks later the tree has apple blossoms. It is in the background and the shots are static. How would you get rid of the blooms in AE? I have an older version so I don’t have all the new tricks. Is there a clone stamp that I could lay the one tree over the other? Thanks

Masking and compositing the tree from the first shot in the second one is my first take- but that’s so simple and straightforward that I may have missed your real problem… if that’s not it, post some stills to better explain your problem.

Thanks Dave, greatly appreciated. This is our 9 th feature so I certainly do understand. Anyone on our set knows that it is taboo to say “fix it in post”. Unfortunately when you are on a budget and a dealine you do waht you have to do. The trees almost never bloom this early. We were scheduled to shoot the week before (actor problem). So, re-shooting or waiting until next year could not be done. Even considered stripping the tree but the location would not allow. I believe I can get away with it (apple blossoms look like snow)but I always want it just right. So I will mask and composit before we consider waitng until next year (we have a distribution deal for this Holiday season) Thanks again for the advice though. You guys are a treasure to film makers.

HEEEEYYYY! That sounds like a great idea! Thanks again and I really mean it, you guys are one of the best resources for film makers in the world! I will give it a go! It is just one branch in the shot! BUT, that will also help with some grass that is just a bit too green.
