  • Making a woman look blind

    Posted by Joe Fatheree on May 2, 2006 at 2:19 pm

    I have been given some footage by a client and asked to make the subject look blind. What would be the best way of doing this? I have tried exporting the footage as an image sequence, took the stills into Photoshop, and colored the eyes. As I expected the coloration is jumpy when I bring it back into full motion. I need less than 5 seconds of video. I have to use the footage I was given. I am looking for some suggestions. Your help is appreciated.
    Best,
    Joe

    Can you track her pupils, then attach white (softened) solids to the tracking points, then tweak for realism?

    ok, well a fellow student just “made a blind girl” usign contact lenses, the big big thin you have to remember, is leave in some detail, a completly white eye is not only distracting, but it’s not real, what it should look like is a normal eye with some seriusly milky tones

    kindof a glazed look

    also, tell your client that a blind person comes across best with good acting, no substitute

    What Steve said, but a walk through here:
    See part 3 of “Creating a Cartoon from Video” by Aharon (Click his head and scroll), he does exactly what you want, just sub in your paricular PS eye fix:
