Here’s my final clip from Braveheart using 3D layers. Murron, the 2 purple flowers on the left, & a green shrub on the right are cut into separate layers in Photoshop then imported into Afterfx to create the illusion of 3D space.
The hard part was recreating the background minus these 3 objects. I used the pen tool to draw the marquee around the objects for accuracy. Later I used the clone tool & the spot healing brush to recreate the missing parts of the background in Photoshop.
In Afterfx I used a freeze frame as a placeholder for where I would split the footage & later insert the 3D work.
The water color images were done using the same process. The good news is that I didn’t have a background to clone. I added a paint stroke footage with a blue solid, then I masked out the black background using a luma matte.
