Background IP content in mockumentary

[Bryy]

In my film, I have a scene where the main character is being interviewed by the side of a highway, and for 250 frames, a WalMart truck passes by. Now, since it is a mock-up of the documentary genre, is this a problem that is in need of a PS job? Or am I good?

I would clone it out just to be safe either way.

Also, I wouldn't want WalMart in my movie. Personal choice though.

Excuse my ingnorance, but 'clone'?

Sorry, the "clone" tool is a tool in Photoshop that allows you to do things like wire removal and blemish removal (if you're reallly good), by taking other parts of the image and using them where you point to.

I think its official name is "Clone Stamp" or something.

I googled "Photoshop Clone" and came up with this: http://www.mediacollege.com/graphics/photoshop/tool/clone.html

peace.

Do you have After Effects? You could blur the part of the frame with the Wal-Mart name showing. My concern with using Photoshop for such a long sequence would be getting the shading of the retouching to match from frame to frame. You might try a few frames and see if it works.

It's no more of a problem than having a Ford, Chrysler, or Chevrolet drive by with the brand name on the back.

Unless this is *about* Wal-Mart. Then, it could get sticky, depending on context.

I do have After Effects, and am trying to learn it, but am finding no good tutorials on the net. My cloning schooling is not coming along to well, either, but that could be because I suck at PS.
