Beautification

Created using: Shake


This shot was created to demonstrate how one can not only manipulate an image, but footage as well. In this shot we see the original woman has several changes made to her appearance.
Here is the original:

Next we see the end result of various amounts of color correction and distortion added. The various effects are limited to certian areas by using 2D Tracking and then applying the tracking data to various masks. These masks are then refined through the use of careful rotoscoping.

By the end result, the forehead and cheeks have been smoothed and removed of blemishes. The white of the eyes has been whitened while the color is intensified and the overall effect is sharpened. Next we see the teeth are also brightened with any yellow being removed, while the lip color is intensified by adding a saturated red color. The hair is then isolated and color added, the skin is then isolated and changed to a warmer color as well. Next, the side of the cheeks are brought in by applying a localized warp that also uses tracking data to follow, thus bringing in her cheeks. Finally, the film grain that was removed or lost with the alterations is matched and then added back into the appropriate places.
