كيف Harry and Hermione Kiss in the Tent [+ Deleted Scene: Harry vs. Ron]
…a glimpse of what might have been. (At least in the movies.)
This is a bit clickbait-y, I know. Sorry! But I’ve had a few messages recently asking if I could put up just the shots that were created in post-production, and I figured… sure, why not?
These were all created using a variety of visual effects techniques and software, including Adobe After Effects, mocha AE and Photoshop. (If you’re interested in creating similar projects yourself, I’d recommend jumping over to Lynda.com and taking their After Effects introductory course.)
The general workflow was as follows: source the material, which I’d do by watching the movie and noting down suitable moments (or surfing around on Tumblr under the harry/hermione tag). Then I’d bring in the clips and do a very rough 5-min animated mask just to get a feel for how they’d work together.
If that looked promising, I’d typically slow down the clips by quite a considerable amount (50 / 60%), using the awesome Timewarp plugin that ships with AE. That plugin actually generates intermediary frames where none previously existed, which makes it superb for creating dreamy, slow-motion type effects.
Then it’d be off into mocha for the planar-assisted roto work, cutting out each figure, after which I’d round-trip the resulting masks back into AE and feather them / adjust them slightly. I’d then create a background in Photoshop using a mixture of Content-Aware Fill, manual clone-stamping, the Patch tool and so on. This background would often be larger than the visible canvas (1920×1080), because it needed to move around in sync with the camera.
For shots that needed heavier compositing – i.e. Hermione taking a nap on Harry in the tent – I’d go back into mocha and planar track a suitable area of Harry’s hands or clothing, with Trans/Scale/Rot all turned on and a high Min % Pixel number (typically 90%). This produced a Null object which I could then use as a master track – by parenting Hermione’s rotoscoped figure to it, she’d appear to move in sync with the camera as her footage scaled up, repositioned and rotated itself.
Then it was onto the grading! This is probably the most important step; trying your hardest to match two pieces of footage shot in separate locations, often under vastly different lighting conditions. There are a ton of tutorials on exactly this online, but I will say that the Tritone effect is marvellous and massively underused. Used in moderation, together with a careful Levels adjustment, some Curves, maybe a Tint and whatever else you need to do to get the shot looking right, it’s usually possible to get the two figures sitting more or less in the same scene.
And, once I’d done all of that and exported as OpenEXR (the king of open-source VFX intermediary formats; preserves all your detail and ability to grade afterwards), I’d often then run the whole shot back through Timewarp to slow it down again, creating these floaty, intimate, dreamlike shots. Slow-motion is romantic, I guess…
A quick renoise pass over the top of everything at 3.0% gives you back that film grain look (and helps reduce some of that artificially slowed-down aesthetic). Sometimes I’d adjust the Gamma of the final shot in the edit via a Levels effect; sometimes I’d leave it alone.
A few final notes on my workflow… careful, manual roto work beats Rotobrush nine times out of ten. And with mocha AE, you can often automate half the work anyway, while still retaining control over every line and curve. Also, music and sound design are massively important – 50% or more of the final effect. Don’t skimp on those.
Oh, and the final VFX shot of Ron attacking Harry is taken from a deleted scene from DH Pt. 1. This scene never actually had its visual effects finished (or even started), but the sound design is in place – so I figured, why not finish it off myself? This was done using all the same techniques described above – careful planar tracking, grading and colour correction, mixed with some stock elements and particle FX this time around.
And for the three of you still reading… cheers! Hope you found that interesting, and if you’d like to see the shots in the context they were designed for, head on over to ‘POTTER HERESY!’ Pt. 1 on this very channel.
