yes I’m trying to go get them by group of people (for instance the 3 top left peole, the other two on the right of them if that make sense)….. guess by what you say the it is not the best way…

I’ll try it by rotoscoping it individually…

Thanks a lot Graham!!

hey Roland

I agree with you…they should had shotted this with a backdrop….but…

about what you were suggesting….I don’t need to roto the whole leg and shadows, as I need to keep the floor…I will add an image so you can see it…

I kind of gave up the rotoscoping approach… the main problem that I’m finding is when the people cross ways between them, when that happens the shape change considerably and i get kerky animation….
other of the issues that I’m seeing is that even with the rotoscope that heads don’t look “very accurate”

I keep trying to apply keyer to see if there is any work around, but the similarities of color between the heads and the people it’s complicating everything

this is the area that I need to clean-up

thanks again Roland,

Hi Grahan! thanks for the reply…

I tried with mocca but it seems that the tracker get lost…and I’m guessing it is due to the similarity of the color…I’m not sure, I’m not an expert with mocca.

I was trying to roto the silhouetted of the people from waist to top of the head so I would keep the people and create and alpha on the wall… let me know if you think it is not the best way…

thanks again for the reply

Hi Roland! thanks for the reply…

regarding the final compo, the idea is to isolate people and train so we can compose a matte painting on the background…(simulating the other side of the train station).

at the moment what I was trying to make the silhouetted (as the floor don’t move) and I was getting from the waist to the head more or less. the problem that I see is that as the people are crossing between them it is very hard to keep a shape for more than 6-7 frames… and if you change shapes very often then it looks jerky….

I gonna try the luminance matte just in case….(I tried before difference kind of mattes but none give me a decent result)

let me know your thought….thanks again
