    The second one was likely done with a clock wipe that simply wipes between two shots with the person in two different sets of clothes over the same tied off angle. Note nothing moved in the background.

    The first one is more elaborate. It was likely a green screen key of the spinning couple, and otherwise the same technique used. the wipe happens over the two spinning people shot against a green or blue screen, then composited over the background which then doesn’t shift in any way.

    Design, choreography, planning against available skills, planning against available resources, planning against available budget, testing, planning against the results of the tests, good catering.

    And posting on multiple forums.

    [david bogie] “good catering.”

    Especially good catering. I’ve no doubt that the quality of the catering greatly effects the final result! 😉

    Hi jerry thanks for this, can you explain a bit more in detail about a clock wipe and how i can do this effect? are there any tutorials around? I am trying to film an object for example a TV and i have and ice sulptured mould of the tv, and i want the real tv to change into the ice TV, the same for various other objects such as a kettle on a worktop.

    I’m talking about using a wipe transition between the two shots that are the two shots of the clothes change… just a simple transition may work fine. Depends on the movement of the subject which pattern. But in the one where the guy sort of moved his hand as the clothing seems to change, that would be done with a “clock wipe”.. standard transition in FCP… The other looks like a vertical wipe between the shots that were likely shot in front of a green screen so the back ground didn’t change. Just the couple moving…

    IOW, the couple is not actually in the shot where they change clothes. They’re shot separately from the background in both outfits, and then the before/after is added on top of the background with the transition between them.
