#Complicated Mattes
I'm having difficulty with animated mattes on a project and I wonder if someone
could give me some advice. I'm creating an open to a video magazine for a
client which involves a lot of flying objects and textures.The central focus of
the open is an animated eye which will blink open and shut. (This is in the
back of the scene beneath the flying layers).
The problem is that we want to key live video inside the eye's pupil so that
everytime the eye blinks, a new scene of video is revealed. I'm trying to
figure out how to get an animated matte which I can give our editor which will
show only the eye center (the white matte) being hidden and revealed by the
animated "lids" while still blacking out all the other objects in the scene.
Hopefully this description makes sense. Help! Please!…
