Rotoscope.
Started doing it in After Effects but it didn't look good. So I had to export the clip as a Targa sequence ; in this case this clip of John Estrada whose back is to the camera. That's the video I have to overlay over another video showing the same John with the rest of the Hapi Together cast.
Since they didn't shoot the foreground video on green screen, I have to mask the clip frame by frame so I can overlay it to background clip. In video, there are 30 frames per second. As per my edit, I have to rotoscope about 8 secs - that's 240 frames. I did the masking in Photoshop and put in an alpha channel, then import it to After Effects and then render the final movie.
Final clip is okay, but I could have done it better, given more time. :-)
Lesson learned: better to do rotoscoping with a tablet and pen :-) AND - mas malinis mag mask sa Photoshop. Also, I have to practice my Photoshop and After Effects skills. Getting rusty.
Hapi Together airs on Tuesday after Babaeng Hampaslupa on TV5.
