Scribble effect “To The MAX!!!!”
ok, so maybe not that extreme, but it so happens I was asked to help on this short film. basic setup is young girl goes into outerspace with in her imagination, lands in a fanciful ‘mars’ land scape. It’s all shot already. and it was on green screen. The task at hand is 2 fold. 1 key (obviusly) the bg, and apply a scribble sky and stars. The stars I have done, as is the keying. But I’m trying to get the squiggles in the background to look good. we want them very close to black (like several shades lighter, but almost indistinguishable) and we want them to have texture. Not just the normal squiggle effect hard edge line. More like a crayon or chalk on chalkboard look. Im looking for help as to how to create this effect. Any help is appreciated here.
Secondly, and here’s the hard bit, she has an imaginary friend, who was played live action by a young boy in a blue screen suite (with some dino-like attributes). there was ‘some’ research done before hand and the suite IS key able. but it looks like I will be doing a bunch of roto here (no big deal mocha to the rescue). The problem lies in the effect that will fill in the space around him. The idea is that hes ‘scribbled’ in. Similar to the sky but much more animates (obviously fallowing his attributes) also the lines have to be almost gap less as this wasn’t mo-caped so there’s no background plate per say. Any ideas on how to accomplish this would be amazing
Feel free to ask for some shots I can get either some compressed or shortened versions up (or even stills) if needed

Stroke or 3D Stroke then Roughen Edges and/or a Fractal Noise overlay will help; I did a similar thing recently

the problem with this is the stroke has to constantly be animated (like the scribble effect) other wise this idea would work nicely and would save me alot of time and grief. As it is, I for see trouble creating this.
