Amazing Compositing work
Hello Everyone,
you may have already seen this but if not it is simply amazing. And a queick question:
For the wide shots fo the beach did they have to mask every little guy individually or they used some other easier technique??

I don’t have any inside info, but I’d imagine that they just had to make a garbage matte (rough mask) around the group (and their footprints, maybe), since the camera is locked off. They’d only have to draw tight masks if any guys overlapped, I suppose.

I really don’t know what’s the big deal. I mean sure it’s amazing and all, but it’s just a composite. And one of the simplest do to, in terms of technique. Please don’t get me wrong, I know it wasn’t easy… All the planning, shooting, post work and everything. I’m amazed, but theres nothing technically and workflowly (I bet I just made that word up) new or difficult about it.
Anyways… to answer your question. They could, but I personally think that would be a waste of time. Since it was a steady shoot I think they just used a simple mask – a general outline, or difference keying. Hard to say from such poor youtube quality, but that’s how I’d try to do it as my first approach.
