I have a short film in mind where I want to play with some CGI/VFX using After Effects, not sure if or how I can do what I want to do. Not sure if and what I need to set it up before/during the shoot?
-- rippling, pulsating mirror surface
-- face and/or hand bulging out of the surface of a bathroom vanity mirror, as if an extension of the mirror, like you see in movies like Mirrors, etc. The bulging face/hand should have the form of a face/hand, but the surface color/texture of a chrome / mirror surface.
I have Adobe After Effects, a giant (3'x3') piece of latex rubber sheeting (amber in color), bathroom vanity with a 14x18 inch rectangular removable mirror, wooden art frames like the kind you stretch canvas on for making an oil painting. I can have several mirrors made at $22 each locally, in case I need to break or remove/replace a mirror.
Any thoughts on how I can do what I want to do? Do I need to paint the mirror green for green screening, or if I keep the camera locks can I film the mirror as is and then crop it in Adobe for the ripple effect? Do I need to paint the amber colored sheet of latex green for green screening?
I am thinking somehow I need to stretch the latex sheet onto a frame, film a face/hand being pushed through it, to somehow texture that footage with chrome/mirror surfacing? If so, can the latex sheeting remain amber, or would it need to be painted green?
Any help greatly appreciated!
