This is
the time lapse, the final product that will be used in my Thriller video.
MAJOR COMPLICATIONS
Due to the fact that I had to film through glass
due to security restrictions at The View from the Shard, it was almost
inevitable that there would be glare and reflection of those inside. The top
left corner of my shot showed people walking inside the viewing area. However,
with a bit of editing prowess I was able to resolve what would have been three
hours of wasted footage.
How I resolved the issue?
The top right corner of the shot was fine, in fact
the skyline colours captured were beautiful in the top right corner. I created
a duplicate of the shot and applied the flop effect, which essentially mirrors
the shot. I then cropped it so that only the sky was being mirrored and not the
city, otherwise I'd have a very weird looking city. This duplicate was being
overlaid on the original. I then feathered the edges so that it one
couldn't see the line where the skyline met the city. What resulted was a
beautifully majestic symmetrical sky with no reflection in the top left corner.
What was a little challenging was adjusting the crop and feathering so that it
would match perfectly and blend in with the original in the background.
