Altered States

After trying to replace the sky, the clean-up road disappears as the original plate covers it up. After asking my tutor, Billie for help, she showed me that there need to be two scanlines render for this works.

Getting a better matte

I’ve also asked for help from another teacher, Aldo, about how I can get a better matte and also the problem with the single frame of the clean up road not covering the whole screen. The later problem was easy to fix, I just extend the road by cloning it in photoshop and reread it and reposition it slightly.

The matte problem was harder to fix, the suggestion that I was given was to combine lum-keys and garbage marks parts out and re-project some parts back in. The difficult part about this was animating the mask especially on the parts near the edges as it could get wobbly at some parts and I’m not so confident in animating the roto. Other than that I end up painting in some holes in the matte, which was time-consuming but I can do it better than roto-ing it instead.

This is the end result
