obscuring objects in live footage, without rotoscoping
Hi guys,
sorry for the cryptical topic title, but here's what I need to do:
My clip features a branded hand-held object (a cellphone), and I need to see if I can obscure it from recognition (at least "reasonable doubt").
My first idea is to do this in Shake, but I would like to turn to Motion instead, if possible:
1) I need to get a track of the object hand. I can do that.
2) I need to match-move a rough mask around the phone.
3) I need to make all black things within that mask, more featureless and blacker, or tint it towards a different color.
I don't want to rotoscope the ting entirely (don't know if that's possible/feasible in Motion); this is why I go for the color replacement/de-contrast operation.
Hope I am getting through to you in terms of what I want to do 🙂
Please. Any tips?
Cheers;
