Hey all, this is my first attempt at a Sequence. Having said that, I have about 15 more (each at least 8 shots) that I shot, but before I go through all of them, I wanted to make sure that I did this right. I know on this one, I didn't allow enough room for the landing, but other than that, is there anything wrong with the sequence??? Thanks in advance :)

You've done pretty well. You have issues with an incomplete board third figure from left, and improper alignment of text on structure at that point, showing the camera moved ever so slightly during that exposure.

Bear you rock!!! You always come through for me :) Well, I went back and fixed the incomplete board, and made an attempt to fix the text on the structure...
It amazing that the camera moved even though I was using a wireless trigger...LOL... Too bad Florida doesn't have Earthquakes, I need something to blame that shake on...

That's a lot better... But really close examination shows that your masking/erasing is visible as round scallops on most of the figures, which is an indication that you're not feathering the tool, or not enough anyway. I'm inclined to think that you need to keep a single iteration of the apparatus, because it's going out of alignment in every shot if you look close. You'd do this by actually doing a close selection for each board, not a painted selection, so none of the apparatus was included. You can still work the usual way for the rough selection, just go in and fine-tune it right to the edge of the boards after that.

I agree with Bear on the hardness of the brush. My advice would be to make the brush a bit softer and make the transitions/masking on a place that is more uniform between each image, i.e. the white of the sign, not the letters.
There is still some background coming through in the torso of 1st guy and the arm and torso of 2nd guy.
I'm not beating this up, it's a great sequence shot. |

Yep, I agree with what the other two guys have said. Especially about making the transition well away from the figures. Everyone's eye goes to the boarder, so if there's a slight problem near one, it's more likely to be seen. In other words, you don't just have to have a layer tightly around each boarder. For example, for the upper part of each one, you could probably do well with including quite a bit of the grass for the first few.
I find it curious that the left most guy's rope goes below the second guy's rope. I'm sure that's real - it just strikes me.
At any rate, nice work! |
