Planning for a sequence composite

- A successful sequence shot…needs to have a clear…progression of movement…through the frame.…Ideally, you want to have a trajectory…of the motion that…results in very distinct positions of your subject…as they're moving through the frame.…That's going to make your compositing work…a lot easier in Photoshop.…In fact, if you shoot it right,…this type of composite is one of the easiest…and quickest Photoshop composites to make.…If you have a movement trajectory…where your subject is moving…more or less in the same physical space,…you're going to have shots where…there's overlap between them.…

Now, you can deal with that.…It's not that you can't work with shots like that.…But it's just a lot more tricky and challenging…to create the mask…to make a successful result…for that type of shot.…When you're setting up…an action or motion sequence,…try to find a location that has…clear, uncluttered background.…Because that will make your subject stand out more…from the background…and be more visible.…Now, of course, that may not always be possible…
