Slow motion with high speed footage

Hi guys!

I’m looking for an easiest way to combine high speed footage and slow motion in one shot. I assume that rotoscoping is one of techniques, but is there any other way?

I want to shoot scene from the top of the bed, where one person is falling on it in slow motion and one person is “sleeping in high speed” 😉
I know that the biggest problem will be deformation of the bed after falling.
Any tips or advice?

Can I use AE to Remove Face Imperfections

Thanks to all who respond.

I am looking to remove Face Imperfections (slight scaring) from an actors reel.

Straight forward shot.

Which software should I use for professional results?

Could the job be done with After Effects?

need .r3d to dpx settings?

which settings r best to export .r3d in ae cs5 to dpx in log format for CGI work.

Is After Effects used on any big feature films???

From what I know, it is an incredible ‘jack of all trades’ package that can do some truly amazing stuff. But I don’t think it has the ‘sexiness’ factor of other more industry standard more expensive programs.

But I know a lot of people have a soft spot for it.

Is it ever used on the big hollywood feature films (even just a little)?

Blurring/removing text

Hi all

Myself and a couple of classmates are preparing the final cut of a school project and have a small problem we are not sure how to fix.

We have a shot with a moving tram with the destination clearly visible on the front of the tram, therefore making the transport company obvious and this could end up in us getting a fine.

My question is can someone advise how to remove the text in after effects or recommend a good tutorial on how to do this?

Thanks

Boujou to AE scaling issues

Hello,

I’ve got a solid track working in AE after tracking it in boujou. My issue is when I parent my object layer to a tracking null, and make it 3D, I then have to rescale it down an enormous amount (say down to 5% or lower) to resize it correctly.

I know this is standard procedure, though now working with the layer becomes much touchier and more sensitive to manipulation. Also using any particle systems is problematic since the normal particle sizes are so huge, scaled down all the way still leaves them too big.

I’ve worked around this somewhat effectively with pre-comps and pre-renders, and have tried several workarounds with little success.

Can anyone give me the step I am missing, or what I can do to work better with this issue?

Thanks!
