anywayz...
I have a character in my film where he is always in sunglasses because his eyes flash sporadically. In the scenes without his glasses (there are few of them as possible, but sometimes they just need to be there for some effects) i was wondering if his eyes should just flash, or could i make them a solid blue for tha whole scene his has no glasses on...is that a hardship to do? I have contingencies in tha script to accomodate whichever i choose to do. any input would be appreciated.

you could either rotoscope the eyes, which would be quite easy, or take it in after effects and motion track the head and add some crazy effect.

i like rotoscoping though.

you want his entire eye to be a solid color??

well...depending on your frame rate, and the amount of the actor's movement...the higher, the harder.


if you rotoscope, it would take a while, but you'd have better control.

motion tracking might be the way to go if you want it done quicker, but it's also harder to setup.

hell...how about some contacts?

nothing cracking SCM...just my head from filming last night. *smack.*

Yeah one color.
Blue.
super power type flick.
His eyes are a solid blue. And blue beams come forth. I think if i can I want his eyes to have a blue color smoke coming from them for tha shots right after he uses his power.

'cha filming mml&m?
