Thanks Jeffrey,
I didn't want to start down that route only to find I should have thought of something else first.
I'll let you know how I get on!
Cheers

Chris

Heya Chris,

Sounds like you're on the right path.  Only, you need a 'larger' matte painting, or multiple smaller ones, to extend beyond frame on and your initial camera pov.
If you have a good track, then it shouldn't be a difficult to use a a rather large, ( or use multiple images on multiple grids ) together to cover your entire landscape.
Just pick 'ideal' frames and project those on your other grids, and do your matte painting on those images.
Sounds like you are on the right path, just need to carry it through the whole shot.

those are fun shots.

Hi All,
I'm looking for some tips / ideas for removing features (roads buildings etc) from a helicopter shot of a village. The shot's been Boujou'd and I've created a grid matched to the land contours. Done a test which worked great, by taking the first frame of the shot, cloning out the raods etc in photoshop, then camera mapping that back on. This works fine, but later in the shot you get other bits of the land coming into view that were outside the initial camera pov.
Now I've got a couple of ideas of how to solve this but was wondering if there are any standard techniques for addressing this?

Thanks and sorry for the slightly OT

Chris
