Remove an object from a video

[Leo0099]

Hi experts, I want to ask about removing an object from a video. But the object is like a difficult one to remove as I have tried with after effect but it didn't work.

An example of the object I wanted to remove is like here in this link :

( video just as an example ), how could the unboxers hands ( the one who is unboxing ) be removed from the video ?

Or if there are any ways to do it instantly by the camera while taking a video ?

That is not gonna be easy. You will need to create replacement artwork for every surface to hands touch. You will need to rotoscope the hands. You will need to re-create the background. If that was my project I would tell the client I needed to 10 days and they boatload of cash. I should also mention that I've been doing rotoscoping and compositing for more than 25 years so I know what I'm doing.

There is no magic button or simple solution to a project like that. You could carefully shoot something like that to make it easier, but it's still going to be a lot of work.

Thank you for you answer. 

Ohh I see. But would it be easier if it was my own video ? If I filmed it like in any way not to show like these objects ( hands in similar video to this video). I mean like in Hollywood movies they do it alot in the horror movies, when you see stuff move by itself ( like elements move and we see no hands or any object there ). I have my own project ( my own video ) but I want to remove like these things but it is quite difficult for me actually.
