    I’ve a job where I have to make a bunch of average girls look “prettier”, its for a Japanese escort service (its legal here) that want to put it on there website. The girls will be in underwear with lots of skin being shown, intercut with closeups.

    What I’ve done on my own is skin smoothing, I use Andrew Kramer’s technique where you make a luma matte from the face and then apply adjustment layer to it, then add any effects (I use Boris’s Skin Smoother), that way keeping the detail in the hair, eyes, teeth.

    I’ve also been playing around with another plug in (I forget the name)Nude FX or something that stimulates a tan.

    And last I’ve got a basic eye color replacement technique down but it involves lots of keying a mask about which is time consuming.

    Are there any other techniques I’m missing? Maybe teeth whitening?Is there not a better way for the eye color replacement than motion track, adjustment layer, position key frame mask technique? Is there anything I can do at the shoot to make sure my post production is easier?

    Oh, and believe it or not there are some men “escorts” as well, anything that I might do different with men?

    Thanks

    I’m sorry , I thought make-up and soft lighting was a given. We do have a a make-up artist ,though this being Japan movie/tv make-up artists are not easy to come by, but we’ll do the best we can.

    I was kinda thinking techniques such as this:
