    Posted by Andrew Spano on May 15, 2010 at 7:17 am

    I just made this video (posted below) and if you look closely you can see where I cropped out the head as the 2nd layer is a different color than the first layer. I used the webcam on my macbook pro to do it… my question is… why is that line still there? does this lens change the lighting exposure or something? I tried to change the brightness and contrast but no luck, you can still see the line. Is is the camera or am I doing something wrong? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    [andrew spano] ” my question is… why is that line still there?”

    Because the lighting on the wall is different than the layered shot. His shadow is causing it to be darker. With him not there, there is no shadow, thus the difference in exposure.
