March 14, 2009 at 10:48 amWithout seeing the entire frame, it is difficult to get a sense of the space. So my suggestion is limited. Try compositing “something” into the scene that would cover the wood. My best guess is that the location is a warehouse, so maybe a large motor or piece of machinery?

March 14, 2009 at 7:08 pmThere’s no speedy way to do this. My best suggestion would be to use photoshop to recreate the missing background, then track and scale that background over the wood before rotoscoping (or animated masking) the wood out.
Because of the speed and length of shot, I’d be tempted to do it all by eye as setting up either a 3D or 2D tracker will take almost as long.

March 15, 2009 at 5:54 pmI would experiment with duplicating your footage, scaling it up a few percent and making a mask of just the right side of the curtain. Then try to overlay it so that it covers the wood. You’re gonna have to feather the hell out of the edge to make it look right.
…Unless I misunderstand what you’re trying to accomplish.

thats a pretty tough shot to work with. its duration is so short and the frame wobbles a lot.
is there any more “junk” footage without that wood in it, with the same camera angle? if there is you could cut a frame from it and then put it over top with a mask and hand track it.
if this is the duration of the piece that you need then it wouldnt be a terrible amount of work. i have done similar and you can fake it pretty good for short pieces like this.
check out the stuff i have been doing here:

March 16, 2009 at 3:58 pmSeems simple enough, but there is always more than one way to skin a cat.
Why not build a clean plate, track it, (mocha may work well with the shot & the roto work), and then just roto out the curtain? If its only 4 seconds or so, its not so bad, and the ceiling, which you want to match move/track, is quite clear. I don’t see the complexity in the shot — the footage looks great! You may even be able to Primatte that curtain and save time — but thats kind of a crapshoot.
Or if you can’t do any of that, photoshop is great for cleaning video frame by frame.
