Firstly thank u so much!
I’ll try as soon as possible. 🙂

I tried with the wave warp effect before writing here, but the result is not the same. 🙁

So, any advice for me to learn and understand expressions?…’cause I don’t want to bother you anytime…

[Gigi Marzo]

thank u in advance… but, could you show me an example?

[Gigi Marzo]

Firstly thank u for the answer.

Yep, I know it. ???? So… I had thought to cut out a picture that could seem like an “internal cavity” of the mouth or throat or something like that and to repeat it… but how? And is the right thought?

(I always write that -this time I have forgot-:the point is that I am a self-taught student)

[Gigi Marzo]

Thank u so much…

Could I put some irons in the fire here? If possible to add a picture -like a poster- on the “yellow paper” and simulate a realistic taer on wallpaper?
Do I make myself clear?

I’ll try to expose it better: we see the yellow paper with a draw on it (I will do it in photoshop), she comes in slashing paper with that draw, look like authentic, almost as if I recorded it from life…

[Gigi Marzo]

WoW, I can’t get such a clean, homogeneous result!
Could I have that project to study it? (even if it’s not too much trouble)

Thank u so much and happy Christmas holidays to everyone!

[Gigi Marzo]

Perhaps I’m asking too much… Could you show it to me, please?
Maybe by my example on a new ae project… my work is the worst. ( Mark Doctor Method): https://youtu.be/a7UKmp9jNeo

Mainly it is a problem of “feather” of the edges, I can not do better.

Firstly… thank u.

So, let me see if I have this correct – I’m sorry for my little english- I can use just the AE if I set up the shot on set (chroma key on face and maybe a green stuff in the hand)… but almost certainly I have to make a 3D element to do “the door” better. Right?

[Gigi Marzo]

Im so sorry for my disappearance, but I have had a trouble (even with the cinema school).
Among other things I could not talk about school projects … bah.

So I have shot my footage and now I’m editing…

just for the dreamlike atmosphere, I’m thinking to add a smoke in my film , so I have two shots: the first one with characters and the second one is the same without characters…Could I utilize this two shots to isolate the characters to delete everything except them? I think is the better thing to add smoke. I know, I dont speak a good english so I can try to explain it with attached pictures:

Is there “subtraction method” or should I go the masks way?

Thank u in advance and sorry for my mistakes… I hope I was clear on that point.

[Gigi Marzo]

Thank u Dave too.

So tomorrow and/or the day after I will (try to) shoot some rough footage. But I’m still not sure if I have to use concrete scenographic objects (like plants, grass…) or nothing… or even objects had nothing to do with it but which are really colorful that in postproduction I can make it faded, blurred, gnarled. Uhm… I’m so confused, because I can’t imagine how to do that “dreamlike” atmosphere.
Obviously for this reason u will tell me to shot different rough footage, I think… or do you have more tips to give me? I hope so.

Thank u again, again and again. ☺

P.S. If I want to add smoke, Can I do in aftereffects or I have to rent the fog machine :S ?

[Gigi Marzo]

Thank u Dave, u are always ready to reply and to help! ☺

So, ok for ur softwares practical line… But maybe I didn’t explain it earlier.
Firstly it is my animatic
So I think I need a “visual help” in the first place: how would u make it?
For example, I thought I’d film it in external location, (with natural light?) maybe with pastel backdrop. Is it the good solution? And is better and easier to film it with real/material scenographic elements to process in post-production (aftereffects) to compose a similar effect like this in the painting?

…Or Is better (?) to film it without scenographic elements -only characters and iron grating- and adding scenographic nature and colors objects in post-production (aftereffects, not 3D element)?

So I’d love to have a concept, a point of view about the operating/production methods.
I hope I have been clearer now (sorry again for my little english), and I hope u can help me (or at least to start a debate on the subject to discuss and share opinions as always)
