  Overlaying multiple shots

  Posted by Phil Beastall on April 30, 2008 at 8:19 am

  I’ve seen it in a few films/programmes. If I want a locked off shot with multiple versions of the same character walking around in the shot (fully opaque not transparent) how would I go about doing that? Is it using masks or is there an easier way considering I will want the character to overlap.

  Hi Phill,
  If you want that the character overlap him self or you shoot with a blue-screen or rotoscope.
  Plan well the shooting.

  Mac OX 10.5.2-FC 6.02-QT 7.4.1
  G5 2x2Gh 4GbRAM-BlackMagic Extreme
  PMBP 17″Core2Duo 4GbRAM-AJA ioHD
  JVC DTV-17″
  SONY EX-1 . SONY PD170
  ..and always a big mess on top of the table.

  Unless you want a ghost-type effect (use a blend mode), a rough mask around the character should be sufficient. Depending on your shot, a simple crop might be sufficient.

  Cheers,
  Ben
