SWEET!!! I like it! It was very informative! I will have to try that tonight :)

Incredibly helpful and thought provoking given the extent of possible uses; reinforces my need to finally get past my serious dislike of pixel level editing (in fact, of any serious editing aside from adjustments & corrections) so that my processing skills can take the next step.

You've inspired me, Jeffrey!

I went through the tutorial 3 times and I am no better at doing cartwheels than I was before and to top it off, I threw my back out in the process! ...that's a kick-ass squirrel shot in there though! :P

LOL - just yanking! Excellent job, Jeff! 3 stars! I'm going to go try some of those again. Me too. I, as well. Wait for me!

did this using the same technique a while ago.

I must stress the importance of manual settings. I took mine in AV mode and the light was different in each frame which made it harder to handle afterwards due to the shadows being different.

Good tutorial man.

Hey, thanks for the comments, folks!

And yes, Tez, manual settings are critical.

another point: try to avoid doing this in shots where the surface texture is likely to be disturbed ie: ripples in a pool, sitting on a sofa that sags etc.

It becomes a nightmare trying to get the effects of ripples,creases etc to look natural, so if you're going to do it try and find a background that doesn't change in any way. It'll save you a headache.

Heh. I ran into that with the shot of the van at the end of the tutorial. Posing as the rockclimber, I sat on the front, making it dip by an inch or so. It took a while to realize why the van's front end didn't line up. :) I managed to hide it by masking so that most of the front end is really from the climber shot. There's a very small break in the line of the wheel well where it transitions to the part of the van by the softball player.

Also, a car drove up and parked in the frame during the shooting, but I managed to just mask it out.
