How to go about widening a river?
Hi,
I was given a scene to do some post to and there are 2 tasks that I’m at a loss on what to do. I would appreciate any help you could offer.
Task 1: Remove a cow from the scene. I know I should rotoscope, but the camera is moving throughout the scene and I’m unsure how to rotoscope and make the scene look natural when it’s constantly moving.
Task 2: Widen the river. There is a river in the scene which needs to be widened to roughly twice its original size. Again, the camera is moving during this shot. What techniques should I be using or looking into in order to pull this shot off? Is this possible without the use of plug-ins?
Thanks in advance!

Ask Moses. He did it with a sea… But I am sure the same principals apply.

Show us some screenshots so that we can better advise.
Depending on the scene, the Clone Stamp tool may be enough for the cow:

well, tracking the shot and then applying the tracking data to your roto shape is what i would do to deal with the camera movement, if theres parallax i would just do a 3d camera track and projection, google about those techniques and i bet you will find your answer
