Eliminate edges of stage costumes in post production
Hi, I need an idea to overcome a very difficult problem, I work in the theater and I have to deal with actors who wear human skin masks to get effects of humanoids or other creatures, the problem is that these costumes have borders on the belly or on the face that I would like to eliminate, unfortunately we cannot always use make-up or clothes to cover them and to solve the problem I did the following: I duplicated the sequence and made the second sequence blurred enough to merge the actor's skin with that of the costume always skin color, then with the masks I traced the areas where the edges passed, erasing them completely, the system has worked so far but it is very stressful and sometimes complex to apply because the shades often come out of the edges blurring other points revealing the post-production make-up, others sometimes they shine too much and you notice, I wonder if there is a system always in post production to do it: I repeat that I would like to discuss only of digital solutions we can not afford anything else on the set unfortunately, thanks in advance
