How to recover background behind a character BNA (demo)
2WARNING! THIS VIDEO CONTAINS FLASHIBG LIGHTS AND FAST MOTION, NOT RECOMENDED FOR PEOPLE WITHH EPILEPTIC SEISURES.
In this video I demostrate the long proccess of removing characters from the shown scene in order to reconstruct the background, frame by frame.
The video is devided in 3 parts:
1) The character removal during which, the background is pasted from the current frame on a
huge temporary image which contains backgrouund from previous frames.
2) The complete reconstruction of missing parts from the huge image.
3) The use of the huge image to reconstruct the original frames.
The first and third part are little boring and super fast (epilepsy warning), but the 2nd part is more interesting.
During the second part, I made some mistakes. Most of them were fixed during the 3rd part of the video.
All this proccess required the use of notepad to write down the X,Y coordinades so, I could know exactly where each frame should be pasted for both the "map's" construction and the frames' reconstruction.
While rewatching my video, I was paying attention on my laptop's screencaptured clock in order to calculate the total amount of time it took me for making all this background resoration. By excuding some breaks, it took me 26 hours and 47 minutes. Totally worthed it.
