RvB2 Shot 107 Roto Time-Lapse

A look at a fraction of what went into the famous shot in Ryan vs Brandon 2. In addition to what is seen here, roto on Ryan's saber was done with matching subtraction masks, as well as subtraction masks for any contact flashes that occurred behind Ryan or Brandon for proper lightwrap. And of course the compositing itself is not shown.

Also enjoy a sneak peek at the final shot with the official RvB2 glows :)

Load the score 'Battle' from Transformers in another window and mute the sound on this video... makes this so much more epic~ =D
Great work Nate as always. :)

@ncaauwe is that something that works in conjunction with AE, or is it something completely separate? Digging duel of the dorks, btw...good stuff.

Damn. That's a lot of rotoscoping for one shot (and that was just Brandons saber).

i was curious about that, too...doesn't look like you're roto'ing in AE...

[tobychengtsanto]

Which program did you use to make the lightsaber effects?

[Alexdudeguy]

Are you in college or the industry for rotoscoping? Or do you just do it for fun
