#Special Effects for TV
Just got off the phone from Brian and he could still use some help on this
process.
What he's doing is blowing up a person by taking a video tape of a person,
going to the last frame the person exists before blowing up, then capturing
that frame. He then uses software to cut out the person.
He uses this image as a background in the 2D Shaper and traces it. In the 3D
Editor he loads this shape and tesselates it. He then maps the image of the
person onto the outline and renders the image with exploding IPAS routines.
Finally, he maps the result onto the video. Problem is, he's having trouble
aligning things up.
He's using the camera to help move the image around to get things aligned.
Also, he's rendering to 720x486x.9091.
Any thoughts? Thanks?
