Tales from the Tail-end of the Pipeline: A friend of mine enlisted my help with this cathartic scene in his upcoming series. He had to shoot this run and gun style, so he'd been converting the colors of the lines of the parking lot by hand (see the light green squiggles) for 6 MONTHS and had gotten about 15 seconds done! Here was the process that took 12 hrs in After Effects: - Bump contrast for easier processing - Rotoscoped the actor with rotobrush - Motion Tracked the lines, and attached that data to shape layers Tips from the tail-end: This process would have been MUCH faster (easily half the time) if the scene had been marked, and the camera stabilized. Producers: please consult post-production folks when planning a scene that will involve VFX. We will love you for it! (Bonus tip: if you have a permit, you're allowed to take the entire time you're allotted. Don't rush!)
