A clip from Flat Stanley

[momoffduty]

A short clip from Flat Stanley. Masked in AE. This could be done in PrEl with a garbage matte, but then to feather would be better to us a feathered matte. Composite of 4 clips.

[Steve Grisetti]

Very nice compositing, Cheryl! I couldn't find any seams between your clips!

[Chuck Engels]

Excellent work Cheryl

[momoffduty]

The seams are taken care of by the feather of the mask. Can you tell where the 4th clip is?

[Chuck Engels]

I can't figure it out.

Looks good, did notice a little problem at about the 11 ~ 12 sec point with your left arm moving in front of the chair.

Good eye! I thought about rotoscoping those few frames, but need to get this project done. Didn't think it was that noticeable.

I'll post some screen shots later of the masks.

Didn't think it was that noticeable.

Its not, was actually looking for where the 4th clip is?

[momoffduty]

Good to know rfg. I read an article that asked when is a project finished. I tend to tweak a project too much. This project is for a class of 7yos and hopefully none will say that I should have rotoscoped. Guess I am safe unless there is a Muvipixer's kid in that class.

[Dave McElderry]

So when IS a project finished Cheryl? I've sure got that syndrome!

[RJ Johnston]

I know when a project is suppose to be finished: yesterday.

Excellent work Mom very very nice,......and nice house too

Just the mere mention of Flat Stanley in January gets my editing fingers twitching and thus begins the jones-ing for the annual Muvipix contest.....Gasp did I say that out loud....E-Gahds...

I'll have to get a pickle. Maybe that was what she was looking for. And Sidd could host a Flat Stanley meet up! I mailed mine back today.

Here are the screen shots. The shadows were different from clip 1 to clip 2 and there was a noticeable jump. Took a freeze frame of clip 2 to take care of the problem. This was the layer order:

Layer 1: Clip 3
Layer 2: Clip 2
Layer 3: Clip 1
Layer 4: Freeze frame of Clip 2

Note: The mask colors can be changed by clicking on the color box next to masks in the layer panel. Or under Preferences>Appearance> check box "Cycle Mask Colors".
