  • Shrubs, Greenery, Bushes, Plants for compositing?

    Posted by Vincent Strader on April 2, 2009 at 10:29 pm

    I just got the new FCP 6 bundle. I need to have some sort of plant or shrubbery that’s already been green screened. Sorry, I’m not real familiar with the compositing terms. I have my subject (a puppet) keyed already, but I need something blocking a part of him that I can’t key. He’s in the woods, so I wanted to play some sort of shrub over that area.

    But I can’t find anything. All that I find are pictures that I’d have to take into photoshop and cut up myself, and at the moment I don’t have the time.

    Can anybody point me to a group of pictures that I could take into a composite? Clip art usually turns out to be to cartoony, I need real greens.

    Thanks for any pointers,
    Vinnie

    Plus I risk making it look too jaggedy around the leafy edges if I try to cut a plant out in the short amount of time that I have. Love these last minute requests from people 🙂

    Do you have a 3d program such as cinema?
    it would make it a lot easier. look on the web for 3d plants…

    Sorry, don’t know no place for this, but I read about Maya Paint Effects (for After Effects) which does plants and stuff, if you can spare the dollars it costs..
    Good luck!
