    Hey,

    I recently saw this video on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WVaxuIKPKvU

    I have some film ideas and I really wanna try this effect out. I have been searching the internet to find out how they might have dont his with no luck, all I know is that its done in camera so it is real.

    My friend figured that its most likely done is to layer a video on top of itself then on the top layer add some sort of delay effect and also key out the brightest thing in the image, which is obviously the light, for each different colour you would have a different layer, I think. We gave it a go yesterday in after effects and fcp but all the effects we used will only delay for one second, we figured maybe there is a new effect on the market that we dont know about.

    Any ideas?????????

    Thanks

    Aine

    I would look for the tutorial on how they did the Ipod commercial where they are painting I think it is on here somewhere but really it is mostly a tracking thing. I am not sure you are going to be able to really pull this off in FCP I think you might need motion or AfterEffects to get what you are looking for. If you can do it in FCP in the end you will wish you didn’t..

    with some tracking some strokes and some creative masks this is really not that tough.

    You should be able to do this in AE, Shake, Motion, Combustion, any app that features both painting and tracking. The trick is to use a brush stroke that remains painted.
