I'm doing a fanedit for Rob Zombie's Halloween and Halloween II and the idea behind the edit are two.
one: to combine both movies into but to keep the length of one i.e.2hours, which means that the night HE came home has to be Halloween II.
two: what would Rob Zombies take on Halloween have been like if Rob hadn't ripped off classic scenes from John Carpenter's 1978 version in the second hour of his remake. And instead gone his own way like he did in Halloween II.
Now when we have gotten the basics out of the way, let’s get down to the problem I'm having here.
In Halloween II (Rob Zombie’s Halloween II) Dr. Samuel Loomis has a press conference and that scene start off like this: [please look only at PART1]
and then the video freeze frames and we have like a photo of young Michael in the background throughout the rest of the scene. [please look at PART 2-9]
Now, in this fanedit when both movies are being put together into one movie, I can't have both the actor of young Michael from the remake of Halloween [Daeg Farch] and Chase Wright Vanek who played young Michael in Halloween II. That wouldn't make any sense. So for logic reasons Chase Wright Vanek has to go.
I have removed Chase Wright Vanek throughout Halloween II except in one scene. (you know the scene you keep telling yourself "yeah yeah that problem is far down the road, I deal with that later....")
yeah....THAT SCENE!!!/THIS SCENE!!!
So I got thinking; what if the short video from Michael's escape in the remake where the video playing in the background which later freeze framed on the last frame and kept that frame as background throughout the rest of the scene.
Please look at the part titled michael on securitycam to see what I mean.
[again; this video will play as background and ones at the last frame it will freeze on that frame. Just as with the young Michael background seen in PART1-9]
As every single shot is locked (i.e. the camera isn't moving) I guess this won’t be to hard to pull off…right?
The “only” problem is how...HOW DO I DO THIS?
I guess the work is done in After Effects (which I have access to)
two things has to be done.
One: Background replaced
Two: Paint out background so microphone booth and Loomis can be seen standing in front of it.
Also if you look at the part called: look at background you'll see that some scenes don’t have to be replaced at all. This is sort of why I decided to go with the "michael on securitycam" as background.
I have scanned around the world-wide-web in hope of finding the answer to this problem. But I'm not able to find it. So I thought that I post here and maybe someone would help me out. Seeing that everyone being hard-core-editing-geeks and all
no just kidding about the last part there ;-)
all response are welcomed! it would really mean a lot to me if this issue got solved.
