  • what program did you use

  • @Piano316James At the time I was switching from Shake to Nuke for compositing. The roto work was done in Mocha and the set extension was put together in Photoshop.

  • Nice work! Any tips for rotoscoping? I can never seem to get it right.

  • @PiefaceclownPrdctns Thanks. I'd say the general things about masking are: track the masks any time that's possible (planar tracking is often the most useful for masking people); when masking complex shapes (like bodies in motion) use multiple simple shapes (limbs, torso, head, costume pieces, gear, etc) rather than a single mask for all; pay attention to the edge feathering or motion blur; put keyframes that match the beginning and end of a movement, then add more as needed, less is more.

  • for some reason it doesn't want to post a direct reply..

    casperisl, thanks, this was a quick test done as i was about to be involved in a project. there were over a dozen similar shots i worked on in the few months after this but haven't had the time to update a reel lately
