last ipod shuffle ad.
hey guys, what’s up, this is my first message here, im unsure of what has to do with anything, but people seem to like saying that, anyway.
I would like some advice to create a replica of the last iPod Shuffle ad, in which the models strip into someone else, i realize there is no tutorial, this is why i am asking for some advice, maybe even some directions.
I had thought to maybe film with a tripod, keep the model’s in the same average position, and just prepare to a full night of masking and unmasking.
Can anyone help me out any further?the ad is here:

Each person may or may not be wearing the next/previous person’s clothing underneath, but it’s clear that there’s a mask that was drawn frame-by frame at the edge of the grament that’s coming on or off. If someone is pulling something up and off, you draw a mask around the clothing, following it up as the person removes. You then have the footage of the next person below. If the next person is a little too wide, you have their arms behind the back, or use something like bezier warp to make them narrower, gradually getting wider as the upper layer clothing is removed.
And the talent would be shot on greenscreen, with the background added later.
Basically, it’s rotoscoping, which is drawing a mask by hand.

If you freeze frame it (which is one of the reasons I love Quicktime), you can see after the purple shirt is the yellow shirt, and it just goes on a layer in front – the purple shirt corner is still visible after the shirt is pulled down.

lol, i thought i was the only one that loved quicktime because of that
anyway, thanks a bunch.merry christmas to you all.

I wish Flash had the same ability. I find Quicktime still the most superior movie tool.
-
also if you look at some of the models they have their arms pulled behind them at the start and some at the end to help with masking one person of the other without having arms interfere with the next model.

yeah, i noticed the arm bending, ill try that too.
another question, though, how can i achieve a slim down of a model, if, say, a thinner one is above him, what tools do i need to use in order to gradually slim the model below, can the puppet tool do it? or is there something else? -
try to match up the sizes of the models or adjust them in side the editor. are you using a green screen?
-
im planning to, havent shot yet, i did a preview but without a green screen.
But even if do have the greenscreen, how can i bezier adjust the sizes, i cant just make the footage smaller, it would mess up everything. -
if the models are very different in size you might have them do different movements to make up for the size like the jacket closing over the smaller model to reveal the bigger model.
if you use a green screen you can creat an motion alpha matte movie from the file and so the person will just show thru their on body outline – i tried it once in a traning project from andrew kramers Serious FX & Compositing. this might a lot faster than rotoscoping every frame.
