I don't think he used the eraser tool, I believe it was the pen tool or the lasso tool. That is the standard way of doing it. The eraser isn't that refined.
that was a good tutorial as far as commentary and explaining but the whole camera movement made me a little dizzy. well not really dizzy but it annoyed me. Regardless good job. I cant wait to try ae cs3.
i see the right hand is blocked by your body while the left hand is in front of your body....what if you wanted both arms in front of your body in the picture...can it be done?????
I know there is a way to have the camera automatically figure out the appropriate depth of field (fake blurring), rather than doing it manually... i forget
Yeh you can let the 3d camera do the depth of field blurring for you but when it does it looks like a regular gaussian blur... It doesn't emulate a real lens blur with the blooming and circles of confusion like the "lens blur" plug-in tries to do. The best plug for lens blur for AE is by Frishluft and its called "lenscare" Real nice bokeh with that one :)
You shouldn't need to choke your alpha. When importing your footage, just interpret your image with a premultiplied alpha that is white (or right click on the file in the bin, and goto interpret...blah blah blah).
By the way....haha...I remember about a year back I left a pretty inflammatory comment about your stuff over at cgtalk....but lately after coming across your videos randomly I've come to enjoy them. Oh...and it also helped that after watching more of your vids I saw more of the satire in your talks than I did before...earlier I just thought you were some weird jerk haha ;)....anywho...keep it up!
Heh heh yeh the interweb seems like a small world some times...That must have been right before I was banned from cgtalk ha ha... No hard feelings d00d :)
omg.. its making me dizzy..!!!
