  Live Action Comp Hints and Tips

  Posted by Rob Hindley on September 3, 2005 at 2:55 am

  I am needing to comp a little alien character created in c4d into live action and need advice.

  The shot is locked off so I don’t have matchmoving issues and the only lighting will be ambient (daylight).
  My biggest problem I am guessing will be achieving natural shadows. I will make proxy objects from a clip of the scene for the shadows to fall on. The question is: can I render the shadows without the objects visible?

  I plan to comp the whole thing in After Effects.

  Put an “Composition Tag” on your Object
  and only choose ” Cast Shadows”.
