  • How do I make an object fall into a hole?

    Posted by Anna Pinto on June 27, 2014 at 1:21 pm

    hello.

    I am working on an animate a painting project and I have this scene where someone falls into a ice hole. I got the hole green screen footage and that works fine on the composition. Now the problem that I have is how to I make the layer with the person go into the hole and disappear?

    I’m a beginner and i’ve looked online for tutorials but I didn’t find anything. Any help you could provide would be really helpful.

    thank you.

    Are you saying you shot footage of a person pretending to fall in a hole on green screen? If yes, you can use position keyframes to move them so they fall down the hole. Have you created your ground layer with the hole yet? Just duplicate it, move it to the top layer above the green screen and add a mask around the front of the hole and ground so it will be in front of the green screen footage when the actor falls down the hole…think of the ground layers as a sandwich bread between the actor.
