Per Kirkeby’s Breaking the Waves chapters’ technique tutorial?

[Daniel Waldron]

Is it possible to see what the effect looks like? It’s been years since I’ve seen the film and I imagine a lot of people here have never seen it.

Could you outline which effect your trying to create?

Well, I like all the chapters and I’d like to learn how to emulate all their techniques.
Mainly I’d like to begin with cha.4 (1’40”);
then with cha.2&6 that seem to be pretty similar (30″ and 2’50”);
and then with cha.3&7 (1’10” and 3’30”).
It seems to me that all chapters are based on heavy color grading + compositing (but in chapter 4 I think rotoscoping is also used). Perhaps it’s possible to do the entire job with AE, or probably it’s better to saparate the job: Davinci, Studio Artist for rotoscoping (or Photoshop?) and After Effects.
Thanks

Well its all a bit varied and I am probably not telling you anything you don’t know, it also depends on what your source is but I imagine that you want to isolate one moving object within a scene while leaving the rest still, so I would imagine that masks and mattes are your friends here.

Yes, I agree with you.
