  • Blurring Faces in After Effects in Post Production

    Hi, doing a short, student, collaborative movie project here in Beijing while in an exchange program. I was wondering how hard would it be to blur faces using after effects in a short movie production and is there anything that I can do before hand to make this much easier? Such as using blue or green make-up to create lines around the faces that can then be easily tracked?
    Essentially I need the faces completely blurred so that I can slowly reveal them over time.
    Anyone’s thoughts on this are tremendously appreciated. Thank you so much in advance.

    Also, if you have Mocha for AE, it does a great job of tracking masks, although it does take a while to learn how to use it. There are plenty of tutorials on their website, the cow, and elsewhere.
