| All these suggestion are valid, Here is my advice for cloning on a budget... With a locked off shot and controlled light. you can do a lot with just mattes and masks and multiple takes. Plan to put some variation in each vehicle take. and leave room for the other vehicles to park. I have done many clone like shots and they all have required some dedicated Roto work. That is something that will not be avoided, even with blue screen. So skip the blue screen or green screen and just go with the Roto. It will look great. ….If you have some measure of consistent light…. A little deviation of lighting can be dealt with, but Shoot fast to minimize it. best of luck to you patrick siemer www.vimeo/siemer www.tapeandglue.com On Dec 11, 2013, at 10:25 AM, Benny Christensen <benny@producersplayhouse.com> wrote: > Why not use Mocha to track and create a matte for the ambulance and then just stack them and offset them in time so the shadows match? > > > Benny Christensen > Producers Playhouse > Oklahoma City > 405-858-0700 > > "Men occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of them pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing ever happened." - Sir Winston Churchill > > > > > > On Dec 11, 2013, at 11:55 AM, Jim Curtis <jpcurtis@me.com> wrote: > >> If you're lucky enough to have consistent light on your shoot (ie, either a cloudless sky or a consistent blanket), you might be able to get away with the oft-neglected Difference Keyer.

I may have access to one ambulance to set up a drive in. How can I shoot this so I can stack up the same ambulance in AE so I have several. I can lock off a shot on the street or at the entrance but barring some serious rotoscoping, not sure what angle to shoot to be able to mask and duplicate and adjust the time so the same ambulance follows itself.
