In the meantime, we'll show you a couple of the videos we put together. This shot consists of three layers: The woman on a green screen, a train window with a hole cut in it, and the background layer which is footage shot out of a moving train.
All put together to create a shot of a woman reading on a train. So exciting! Well, it is if you're a compositing geek! We have light wrap applied to both the window and the woman. This causes both foreground elements to get lighting adjustments based on what's in the background footage.
In this shot, we have a woman merrily providing tech support in a brightly lit office. The office is a still image. We want the woman to look like she's part of the environment, so a little light wrap fantastic is going to go a long way. We've used a mask nifty feature of LWF to make the light wrap more pronounced on her left side, which is the side closest to where the light source is. The Light Wrap Fantastic plugin is easy to use. You almost don't need tutorials to use this video effects software!
