This video made my day! Sebastian König needed to replace a photograph in a piece of video footage.

Here's a little breakdown of a small FX project that I recently did for the German TV Station MDR. They needed to have a photo exchanged in one shot from a documentary about Roland Freisler.
Kay Dombrowsky from trickkiste.tv was doing the color grading for the whole series on his DaVinciResolve, and since we share the same office space he asked me to do this little shot.
Everything was done in Blender. First I did a quick 2 point track of the original photo. I combined that with a few hooks, which I then hand animated to get the deformation of the photo right. Masking and fake shadows were done in Blender's MovieClipEditor. Feathering could be better at some points, but for the time and budget I think all in all it turned out pretty good.

That's pretty cool.
It reminds of what they did in "House" when a character died in the show. They didn't want to spoil the season finale but they had to record a scene in a graveyard where a picture of the character was over his grave.
The solution was to shoot with a fake picture and replace in post :)

How come David Ward's tutorial's never get posted here?
Because he never submits them, nor does anyone else. For a large part, I have to rely on the community to submit news:

So feel free to help out :)
I have submitted about five news items, including two from Ward, none of them have gotten their way to the site ;)
Welcome to the club.
I totally agree. David ward's tutorials have been extremely helpful to me. All the way from modelling cartoon characters, rigging, and animation. His series of tutorials in modelling, rigging and animating of Tim was excellent.
Great job, Sebastian. You,and Blender, never cease to amaze me!
That's indeed a job well done Sebastian. Very impressive. How much time does such a job take you?
