Okay guys I got a tough one. I spent a week trying to do this :







But I couldn't even come close... The camera is moving, so no difference matte right ?

thanks for your help

To me, it looks like this was done more manually than with a a plugin. Echoes are simple time-remapped layers. Since the kite surfer is against a blue sky, keying could be done off the blue channel, right? (Notice that the when the echo takes place, the surfer is only over the sky, as soon as he crosses the horizon, the clips transition back to a single shot.)

Also, I think there's more going on here, the camera track seems slightly manufactured. So there might be additional compositing going on. (Pretty sure the beach is faked.) I could be wrong, though.

There was a large thread on this about 6 months ago... I don't remember the title to search for though but I'm sure you can find it.

Okay guys I found it. but I swear I've looked for it before posting.

So conclusion is ... nobody knows !!! how crazy is that ? But I also tend to think that it's just an endless amount of work...

anyway cheers for the answer, and check his latest vid out : http://www.dailymotion.com/relevance/search/core%2Bslider/video/x77dlg_core...

All the decomp and matrix effect are just insane in it. I played it frame by frame, and it's just perfect.

props to this guy
