Thank you all for your suggestions! Actually, we have thought about about framing out the contact point of the wheel but we didn't think that would look quite right either since it would just look like the area was "cut out". We've yet to try this but come to think of it, it may not look so odd if we take it to post and applied a shadow under the wheel. We completely overlooked the matter of the bike's suspension so thank you Fran for highlighting that. It will definitely contribute to the overall illusion. Anyhow, still open to suggestions but I'll keep you posted on how we end up doing things! Appreciate your replies! Cheers, Mei

Hi everyone! I'm working on a bike shoot that's going to be shot entirely on green screen next week. Atm, we're trying to figure out how to shoot its tires spinning. Basically, if we had the bike elevated on stands, sure we'll be able to get a shot of that but it would look fake because there isn't any pressure applied onto the tires. Once keyed out, it'll look like the bike is floating instead of having it's tires pressed against the ground. Someone recommended a treadmill but I can't really see how that's going to work. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks! Mei

Hi everyone, I have a question that I'm actually kinda embarassed asking because the answer seems quite obvious.... I am aware of the fact that you can achieve many things with colour treatment during the telecine grade. but how much does your lighting really effect what you can achieve during the grade? I've just been on a tvc shoot and prior to that, I've asked the director this question and the answer I got was that it doesn't really matter because you can do lots during the grade. I'm sitting in the TC room as I type this and they're running into all sorts of problems achieving the grade that they want. I was hoping that someone could clear this up for me and explain the things that I should be aware of in terms of lighting before we get into TC. Thanks very much!
