From one scene to another
Hello there,
I’m creating a Piece to Camera shot that starts in one location and then by the time the person has finsihed talking they have arrived in a different location.
I want the second location to “build in” as the person is speaks rather than morph from one scene to another. Or just do a boring walk out of frame in one location and walk into frame at the other.
I have footage of the two locations shot at simular angles. Also of the person doing the entire PTC at both locations.
I’d be interested to see what people’s approach would be to this project. I can rotoscope the person, but also have the option of shooting them on green screen so their piece to camera is seamless.
To make the “build in” of the second scene I was planning to incorporate some photoshop layers of the two scenes with their respective “street furniture” taken out so there is a blank canvas for objects to build on using masks. perhaps I can employ some displacement maps also, though i don’t want too much of a morphing effect.
Any suggestions/ hints etc woudl be welcome.
Best wishes,
Zo

When I think build in, I think that if you had buildings in the background, and benches and those kinds of things, I guess that you could make a basic Matte painting and then with everything removed and animate masks of objects you have placed in the scene build or grow… but that is a lot of rotoscoping…
hmmm it seems that if you really want to sell the effect, I would shoot it green screen to have a clean background, track it so that everything moves correctly, and have the first set of background elements “unbuild”, and have the individual elements in the background of the second set grow or build into the scene.
Thats just the way that I would do it.
Good luck… it sounds like an awesome effect…
