Red Giant has just released another Cheap Tricks episode, featuring half-dad, a father who is conjured back to life with only his legs and feet, from Pixar's "Onward" - now playing in theaters. In this Cheap Tricks episode, now out on YouTube, Dan "Hashi" Hashimoto, the Action Movie Dad, shows viewers a range of techniques for erasing characters from static and dynamic shots using 3D plate projection for a live-action remake of half-dad from "Onward." Viewers will also learn how Maxon Cinema 4D is used to create a more animated version of "dad legs."

"I think that knowing how to erase things from a handheld shot is a skill that could prove useful in a million different ways," Hashi explains. "You may never need to create dad legs per se...but there are lots of reasons that visual effects are used to erase limbs in movies."
Focusing on camera tracking, basic plate projection, masking and particle & lens flare plugins, Hashi demonstrates three levels of difficulty approaching how to erase the top part of his body while keeping his legs moving around in After Effects. Many tools from Red Giant Complete were used to help create the effect including Trapcode Particular, which was primarily used to create the magical particles coming the "magical wand" seen in the video that was used to diminish Hashi into a pair of legs. Other tools used included plugins from Magic Bullet Suite and VFX Suite. In the last 10 minutes of the tutorial, Hashi creates a CG version of half-dad by utilizing Maxon Cinema 4D and Adobe's Mixamo. Read latest news here.
