    Hello,

    How would you tackle a shot like this?

    I want to either remove the Mirror background and switch it with something else or alternatively keep the mirror and somehow remove the camera reflecting… the issue with this is that I’ll have to animate some kind of door opening…

    what would you guys do?

    I would’ve shot/edited this in a way you wouldn’t see the camera crew. I don’t know what’s happening in the shot movement wise but you’ll probably have some rotoscoping to do to clean up the background.

    Yes I agree shooting it like this was a mistake… I’m trying to figure out how to save the take (:

    is rotoscoping the best solution? it’s always comes out jagged and noisy…

    Thanks

    would just try to take out the camera reflections..where ever they may be, it would certainly be easier than rotoscoping everyone. Pick another panel and cover up the reflection of the camera
