help with faking being naked
i filmed a segment talking about dress code policy, and was wanting to know if anyone knew how to make it appear as if a person was walking around naked. here’s how i had it set up. i had to actors i filmed against green screen, one guy in the foreground talking about the dress code, and the other guy walking in the background with nothing on except rolled up black shorts. i just want to know is there a way i can make the guy in the background appear as if he were naked? my plan is to pixel censor the footage, but can do something underneath this layer to at least match his skin so he appears naked? Much thanks in advance!

tan or beige colored underwear or speedo with mosaic effect on it…
you can even put an inverted black triangle in the crotch area for a more convincing effect.

Or a large elongated black cylinder in case Borat was your model.

Since you already filmed with black shorts, this will prove astonishingly difficult.

i’m trying my best to pull this effect off with an adjustment layer with the mosaic effect applied to it, and a beige-ish solid layer underneath it in the shape of the actor’s waist. i lowered the opacity some on the solid layer so it’s not completely opaque. then i feathered the masks for both layers. it’s not perfect, but it might work. any other options you might know of?

Try doing a junk mask around the shorts and doing some color replacement. It’ll take awhile, but that’s the only way I can think of to get a more convincing mosaic.

We did this once just with our editing software. We had someone wear athletic shorts rolled up on the street corner making him look like he was flashing the cars driving by. We duplicated the layer and cropped around the person stomach area. Used the pixel preset and placed over the duplicated clip. Then he would turn back and fourth from the camera and we just edited accordingly. Came out pretty good. I think using AE will make it much easier though.

You could track the shorts and then create a solid layer that uses his skin color, then mask the solid to match the shape and apply the tracking data.
or…
you could just duplicate the footage and use some effect that only touches the black. that way the shorts are perfectly in place.
i think there are probably a few ways you could pull it off.

if the shorts are the only really dark thing in the shot you could make a matte and then set a skin coloured layer to ‘luma inverted matte’ in the track matte menu.

Couldn’t you just use a Change To Colour? ie, change the black of the shorts to a skin tone, and then add the pixelated mask?
