How to composite musician into this footage?
Link to video I'm playing with.
AE user for around 3-4 years, though pretty green in the ways of compositing footage in this type of project. The above clip is from a vintage Chevy ad. I'm planning a video shoot and would like to add a musician playing his guitar in front of the car, seen through the windshield. Any pointers on how best to do this?
First step would be to record the performer in front of a green screen. Then I'm thinking I need to create a few layers of the car footage and masking some of those layers out. Then add the performer in between those layers so he's standing next to the woman as she passes in front (or behind?) him.
I'm thinking I can just shoot a full body performance in front of the green screen and fit the upper body between the layers? The trick I'm trying to understand is doing this with all the movement in the frame: The woman walking, the rowboat and the camera tracking. Not sure what I should mask on what layer.
I'm not worried about it looking 100% convincing, as this project has a 1950s sci-fi cheese look going for it, but I still want to accomplish getting the performer into the footage.
Thanks!
