Thanks a lot Dave. Will try out your suggestion. To answer your question in an earlier post

“How does that snake skin replace human skin: does it pop up in various places like zits, does it slide into place, or something else? Indicate how it does it. Does this snake skin look like a snakeskin tattoo over normal skin, or do the hairs on the arm go away to be replaced by scales?”

I was thinking of doing a snakeskin tattoo over normal skin, starting with the head and creeping all the way to the hands.

Thanks a lot for your advice Dave. Yep looks like it’s back to the drawing board, literally. While I’m working out the details of the camera shots and the effects I want to achieve, need to know a couple of things.

1) Can the effects be achieved using native after effects controls or some 3rd party plugin would be required?

2) How would you do it? Preferably a reasonably quick way without compromising too much on the quality of the effect.

*Sigh* I’ve got like 2 weeks to hand up the video clip and working full time doesn’t really help…hahaha…hope I can pull this off.

The guy is sitting for most of the scene but his arms/hands do move a little for a few seconds. Would this greatly increase the difficulty achieving the glowing effect? Ok lets say I were to reshoot the whole scene again, what do I need to do to pull off both a convincing glowing effect as well as the changing skin? Thanks.
