I can’t tell you what a great time I had today for 7 hours moving splines. Really I’m being a smart ass. It was… Ya we had Marty shot against green screen and still rods, wires and even people still showed up. After many KeyLights in After Effects and so on the garbage matt was the only answer. One frame at a time. But Marty now lives and is cut into the time line. Except for Gary’s footage all live action is done and cut in. Tom’s ending effects are incredible and we just about have a movie. More next week!
Wow, talk about some tedious work. Still, I’ll bet the results will be fantastic. That still alone looks great.
Thanks Chris!
Key frame animation on garbage mattes? Frame by frame? I know your pain Steve, it’s not fun. No. It was that transparent helmet wasn’t it? I had a stupid glass in a shot that kept vanishing, had to do the same thing for 400 frames. FOUR HUNDRED.
You go a bit mad. lol
I thought about building a laserblast gun a couple years ago, but I could not get enough good looks of it. I’m tempted to start sculpting the grenade looking necklace that has to be worn for it to work while I wait.
