Animating a silhouette
Hey,
I want to animate a silhouette dancing almost like the ipod commercials and I was wondering how one would go about doing that. I tried, but when I try to get the legs to move they don’t match up with the body and the arms wind up moving in odd directions as well.
Thanks

You can animate a silhouette with the puppet tool. Also, you can record someone dancing in a green background, keying it out and color it with black. Just add a color solid as the background and there it is. iPod style disco. To see how to key out the background you can check out the “Basic Color Keying Techniques” video tutorial by Andrew Kramer, here in the COW.

Andrew Kramer has a tutorial on just this, but you gotta buy his DVD.
Its called “Creative Cow Serious Effects And Compositing”
I don’t have a copy, but I’ve seen my friends copy and if I had cash, I’d pick it up in a heartbeat 🙂
Hope this helps 🙂
