Removing Light reflections on Guitar

You would have to use a wire removal and cloning tool or rotoscoping/motion tracking system to find a piece of the guitar that can be used to replace those pixels. and then move it around in 3D perspective so it looks seamless. It will always look like it's been faked. And this will never be easier nor cheaper to do than it will be to reshoot it properly. Unless, of course, they're paying you by the hour to correct their bad photography. bogiesan Respond to this post   •   Return to posts index

	Re: Removing Light reflections on Guitar by Dave LaRonde on Apr 24, 2009 at 3:26:38 pm Bogie's right: reshoot. Dave's Stock Answer #2: When you're out on a shoot, and you say, "we'll fix this in post" without knowing PRECISELY HOW you're going to fix it in post, don't shoot it! You'll only end up shooting it over again. Dave LaRonde Sr. Promotion Producer KCRG-TV (ABC) Cedar Rapids, IA Respond to this post   •   Return to posts index

It may be that style = fart (like Sagmeister says) but it's also a decent way to cover up crappy green screen shoots. You might be able to turn a loss into a creative win. -stutts- Respond to this post   •   Return to posts index
