Tips on removing dandruff in video
Do you guys have any suggestions on a technique to remove dandruff from an interview person? I tried a blur on part of the jacket, but it’s just not looking right. Maybe I have more options in color?

For something like that, especially if the subject or camera is moving around, I would use After Effects. Motion track the person, and try using either a compound blur or a median blur.

Sorry David, can you see it now?

If you’re going to use After Effects, see this post on the AE forum, where I describe how to procedurally isolate and lighten black spots in highlight areas [link] — no tracking required. Of course, to darken light spots in dark areas, you’d have to add an Invert effect and adjust the Change Color lightness down.

Something like this might work, but if the subject is moving around too much it might right some innovative tracking.

The Head & Shoulders plug-in is just the ticket.

Obviously, five seconds and a $2 lint roller during the shoot would have saved everybody some embarassment and time/money here. Don’t be afraid to lay hands on people to straighten them up or clean them off: it is never rude to a guest to make them look as good as possible. They appreciate the effort.

Walter,
I’ll give this a try. The guy doesn’t move around to much so I’m thinking a simple matte created in Photoshop could help out.
I’ll definitely have a grooming tool for next time. Thanks for all the suggestions.
