Character Movement Animation
We re-shot the video of the people walking. The frontal walk as well as the side walk were filmed in multiple views.
I then imported the two videos into Capcut and used the video auto key feature to snap out the characters and make the character silhouettes black. After completing the two black character silhouette videos, I imported the videos into PR to make adjustments to both videos so that all the character actions in both videos were at the same point in time.
I added a background image to the side movement video of the characters, which was taken from an open source AI image. I tweaked and created that type of footage in PR to complete the background of the movement. The side video of the character was merged with this motion background to complete the side video.
These two videos will later be imported into Max and used to capture footage on location.
Heart keying
Create an alpha channel heart video that can correspond to the silhouette of a person in frontal movement, enabling live capture in Max.
