Blurred People

[Pavel Roder]

Just a thought::

 

how can I create a very blurred people (moving) on daylight ?? All digital cameras i found does not have such a clone

 

Would it be worth of shooting them (on blue background) with cine-camera and then keying a sequence of 1 sec in AfterEffects ??

[Pavel Roder]

does anyone tryed something like that ?? thanx

you mean animated motion blurred people?

Shoot the people as you would normally,

in photoshop, mask them out...

and apply a motionblur to them

you can even do this in your 3d package if it supports motion blur.

bur please don't over do the blurring ...........

next to photoshop lens flares it's a no no

basically animate the sprite so it is moving in real world real time and set blur as per a real exposure and aim for a subtle almost subliminal blur..........

i find people don't move fast enough to warrant this for a daytime shot but i set it up in my work if there is going to be a car in the foreground and work from there

Depends. Architect's with huge egos tend to like heavily blurred people. After all, the public just gets in the way of their 'masterpiece'.

 

We have an architect in town like that. He likes everything in wireframe because it flatters his structure but the client looks at the image and can't tell which end is up.

 

BTW, add the people in Photoshop on their own layer and add the motion blur as a 2d effect. Try duplicating the layer a couple times and applying the motion blur from opposing angles to get an interesting 'artistic' feel.

greets! hehe, maybe it is the EGO that blurs people

 

: Faking this kind of blur in photoshop is not exactly what I meant - I spent a lot of time trying to get "the right blur"

 

When somebody is moving (0,5 sec) , there is always some part of body, that stays unmoved (like torso...) orangeno

 

You know those blurred people in night shot - but in day time ??? What do u think about an idea of hiding camera in the car and taping around walking people and then blurring them in AE ??? :???: Has anyone tryed it ?? How can i get the best result ???

 

Keying - blue or green background ?????? I have a very small exp with video software

blurring is good sometimes, but what some renderers do is simply adjust the transparency of figures. That can work well, too. It can be constant, or modulated via an alpha channel. The same technique would work equally well in Photoshop or in 3D in animation, without the rendering overhead of motion blur.

 

Something else to consider--reduced detail. Try taking a photo figure into Photoshop and apply the filter PaintDaubs with the sharpness at 0. It blurs out detail in a very nice, adjustable way.

if you want peolpe with movement in daylight set the camera shutter speed very low, like half a second, and then have a very small apperture, say around f16/22. Then you will get blured movement with roughly the correct exposure. Don't use a flash though, cause this will freeze the motion.Hope this helps

[Pavel Roder]

thanks mashedpot8er,

 

problem with this is that I couldnt find a digital camera with such a small ap.(f16/22) :angesigh: :angesigh:

Most digicams will calc the f stop on their own (aka shutter priority). Set the shutter speed in manual mode. Mine is a Nikon CP995

[Jeff Mottle]

You can also (if you digicam allows) have a larger aperature and offset the longer exposure time with a few ND filters and some exposure compensation. You do the same thing to capture waterfalls with that soft wispy look.
