final project: digitally removing some legs

In one shot, a character is in the top left of the frame to the left of waldo, but in the next shot, they are back on the other side of waldo (the right side). So, I went in and digitally painted out the legs from the shot. It is a bit glitchy, and the shadows aren't perfect, but it happens so quickly that I think no one will notice.



I managed to do this by motion tracking the whole shot, pulling a few clean plate sections from various frames, overlaying them, and then matching their movement back to the original footage.



A lot of these previews are turning out really dark, where you can barely even see what I did. The final DVD or high res quicktime or whatever will look tons better.
