When we were filming the car shot we couldnt help but have the shadow of the tripod obstruct the shot. However, during filming one of the characters walks in front of the shadow making another one. we used this extra shadow to mask the other one so that the shadow covered the orginal tripod shadow.
Creation Process
To create the effect we wanted, we first had to place the original clip on the main vidoe track, then freeze frame from earlier in the clip where the shadow was obstructed. However, in order to get the look we had to use an external plugin called 'RT 8 Point Matte' this allowed us to mask around the wanted shadow so that it was the only thing that could be seen on the secondary timeline. We managed to blur the edges of the picture so it became undectable if not outlined to the audience.
Admitedly we should have realised and refilmed quicker, however, this affect was so easy to produce that this was not neccessary.
