As an editor, I’m  old enough to remember how the answers to certain client requests have changed over the years. LIke drastically.

For example, this year featured interesting career plot twists as I was asked to remove a company logo from the I.D. badges actors were wearing all over the video.

I was asked to de-emphasize the texture on a truckload of walls, every one of which had stuff and people in the foreground.

I was asked to remove wires from scenes.

And then just the other day I was asked to remove a person from a shot. An entire.

Person.

And my point is, not even that long ago really, my point is the answers to all of those requests used to be a resounding NO!

As in...

NO!!!!!

Followed by hysterical laughter for several minutes.

But these days... the answer is

“Lemme see what I can do.”

The logo removals, by the way, were a snap. A snap, that is, but for two scenes in which the person wearing the badge with offending logo meandered back and forth, turning this way and that during the course of a minute. Each.

The walls were straight up rotoscoping every foreground element, cutting them out, basically, so whatever I did with walls had no effect on the foreground. And yes, I replaced walls on occasion.

The wire removal was actually easier than I thought because the wires were part of a wide, locked-down shot. The only fly in that ointment was someone’s hand moving behind one of those wires over the course of a few seconds.

I got the wire out... but now there’s a wire-shaped hole in the hand that I hastily, in a short-cutty kind of way, filled in with surrounding hand pixels.

I’ll call that one a wash ‘cause to make the hand look right... you can’t be in a rush. All the wires are gone, though. :-)

And then a coupla days ago I’m pulling a person out of a scene where that person’s walking forward and back behind another person who’s being interviewed.

Took me about an hour.

And only, then, ‘cause I’m new to this racket of Photoshopping video.

So yeah.

Dang.
