  • Inspiration for dancer on white background

    I have shot video of a girl dancing on a white background under her and behind her. I was lloking for some creative ideas for something I could do to jazz it up. I have hit a creative wall. Let me preface this by saying this is a huge project:) it is of my 3 year old daughter:) It is for her birthday party and I was just looking for ideas in AE to add some effects to it. any brainstorming is appreciated.

    I’m immediately tempted to suggest keying/matting the background out of the shot and placing her in a new environment… but that would depend on how clean the key could be with a white background (was she wearing any white?).

    You could alternatively use a clean plate of the background she was dancing on, key her out of the video footage, place her back on the clean plate (this might not work well if you don’t have a method of tracking camera position and applying it to the clean plate or if you didn’t use a tripod) and then animate some cool 3D Stroke effects around her as she swirls and twirls, flowers popping up in the background and spinning around… whatever she’s into =)
