Ghost effect
Hi guys I need to shoot a scene where a father lies on his bed dying whilst he sees vision of his already dead daughter in a ghostly effect walk to him. How can I get this effect where the daughter looks like a ghost. I know I could keep camera on lock and shoot scene twice, duplicate daughter scene and change opacity as I layer over first scene. I plan to change opacity to get ghost feel but really want to know if its possible to mask around her so i have the freedom to position her in the overlayed clip.
Kinda like how this guy done his

cheers all

You’ll be wanting to lock the camera and shoot the father. Then, keeping the camera locked, put up a green screen and shoot the daughter. Then, key out the green, and voilà!
Unless, of course, you can afford some rotoscoping. Personally, I prefer spending my money on new cars rather than on 10 seconds of rotoscoping.
Cheers!

cheers mate would the guy who did the clip in that youtube you think he used a green screen outside?

Hmmmm… it looks like he did a split-screen for the run up, then when the freeze happens he rotoscoped around the body in the air. You can tell that there’s a slight shift in the background on that side of the frame at the moment the freeze happens.

sorry if dumb question but how do you rotoscope?

Basically, it’s done by cutting around the subject on every frame. It’s a long and painful process.
