GPS (reflection removal)

On the off chance that anybody is even remotely interested, I put together this video to show an effects shot in "GPS" that hopefully goes unnoticed while watching it. But allow me to lift the curtain and show off a bit of movie magic that I employed to remove an unwanted reflection of myself holding the camera, in the car door.

Great job there. Quite a tricky job for your first after effects experience.

So, where did you get the shot of the door with no reflection? Did you just reshoot it?

I thought it was clever anyway.

I made a still image of the empty door in Photoshop by removing reflection by painting myself out ( and using the rubberstamp tool etc) Doing that to a single frame is easy, but the tricky part was getting it to last for several seconds.

Pretty cool, but I hadn't noticed the reflection at all.

[DustoMcNeato]

Good then it worked! :) The problem I kept finding was when the reflection was there it took your eyes away from watching her in the car.

First time you used AE? Wow! Great result!

good work!, rotoscoping can be pain in the ass :)

Brilliant! I wouldn't have noticed one way or another (as I have a life) but, looking at your vid and explanation, it looks great. Sit, chillax and be proud. :¬)

Nice Job.

Your stuff is great because of great attention-to-detail.
