  Reflection issue

  Posted by Sue Lawson on January 5, 2008 at 2:40 am

  Hi all.

  Not sure if this is a question better suited for the AE or Motion forums, but I’m wondering if there is a “non-bang-my-head-against-the-wall” way of dealing with the reflection of the boom mic in the windshield of an auto.

  Although the car isn’t moving, the camera is (of course) and I still need to see the action between the two main characters inside the vehicle.

  Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

  Chances are – time to hire an effects artist.

  Yup, time to hire an effects artist.

  I just do happen to be one… :]

  But no actually – I can’t see any way to easily do that. You will definitely have to endure some banging your head against the wall. It’s hard to say though without actually seeing the frame or frames in question. You’ll also need to do some motion tracking in the comp since you say the camera is moving. It’s possible… but not easy.

  I’ll take care of the DP and Director for not seeing it during shooting (I’ll bang THEIR heads against each other)!

  Happy New Year.

  Thanks guys!

  Aaron and Paul, you’ve confirmed what I had already guessed.
  (Paul… I’ll keep your info on hand!)

  … and Steve, I if I run into more scenes like this one, I’ll be tempted to take you up on your offer! 😉
