This is what it will sort of look like. The background and probably the camera angle will change.
I'm not a Neo Nazi by the way. Its just for my new film. I just need a marching army. ;)[/quote]

			<description><![CDATA[[quote=Riley]I'll try adjusting that frame you posted and see how it goes, although animating the figure in each position will make it look much better.
You could try animating it by taking a shot of the fig, then move it down a few studs taking another shot, and take a photo for every position, go back to the first spot and animate the next frame of the walk sequence and move it down the line again, go back to the start and take a photo of the third part and so on. Then send me a compressed folder with all the frames and I should be able to get it done.[/quote]

Excellent. Will do that and send it to your some time this week.
By the way, that looks amazing!
Great job dude.]]></description>

Since your lighting isn't creating shadows, if you could replace the original set with a green baseplate and animate the minifig ten different times in the appropriate spots (or five times, since it looks like you've got two minifigs), he might be able to key the green out and replicate them that way.

EDIT: Does the army have to be marching? If they're not animated, it's a simple enough process to take ten pictures with the minifig in each spot, draw a matte around them, and drop them into a single scene.[/quote]

Oh snap, I forgot to tell you thats sun light which I definitely won't be using.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[[quote=Noodle][quote=quigibo]...there will be a very noticeable perspective difference between the copies and it will look very weird.[/quote]
If you want ten minifigs marching, you need to film the same minifig marching in the ten different locations you want it, or it won't look right.

EDIT: If you were just planning on filming one minifig in that set and expecting Riley to make it ten, I'm afraid that's not an option. That would require breaking out After Effects and animating a matte frame-by-frame on top of the scene to cut the minifig out of the original footage, which would be absurdly time-consuming and then some. And it still won't look right because the copies won't have shadows. And you'll still have perspective problems.[/quote]

Ah *&%$!
Riley? What you think is best for me to do?]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[[quote=Riley]Will you have animated the footage for each different minifigs, or will I have to multiply them myself, and could you tell me from what angle you think it will be from?[/quote]

Well I was thinking could you multiply the animation of one minifigure? You know, like, I animate one marching minifigure and you'd be able to multiply that animation for ever minifig. I will just have a flat panning shot [b]OR[/b] have the camera just flat.]]></description>
