extrude movie footage
I have some blue studio footage of a dancer which I have keyed out and was wodering if there was a way of extruding it?
I’ve tried bringing the footage in as a material with an alpha, mapping it to a plane, diplciating that and using a Loft Nurb but that doesnt seem to work
Any ideas?

You want depth?
If you still have the outline paths, bring them in to Cinema and use the morph tag to morph from spline shape to spline shape. Put that in an extrude nurbs. Warning, this is a lot of work, could be nearly frame-to-frame morphing. I bet there are other ways also, but it’s going to involve morphing from one spline shape to another however you do it.

I’ve done this in After effects, Take the keyed video, enable 3d, and duplicate it along the Z axis moving the duplicates about 1 pixel or less until it builds up depth to your desired thickness. the problem is you can’t get the camera too close to the array, or flip it 90 degrees because its 2 1/2D and will reveal its paper thin layers, but sometimes this is an OK fake
