Camera Cross Plates Pack 03

You may have seen recent commercials for Dupixent® in which camera crosses by digital extras are used to add visual depth and production value, as well as create foreground transitions which help sell the illusion of long, uninterrupted shots.

There are five CG-actor camera crosses (and one cleverly placed tree) in the "Du More: Yard Work & Team Work" spot: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XvT0Lh2cGho.

We looked around for stock camera cross footage but couldn't find much, so we created our own collection of plates with an emphasis on flexibility and ease-of-use.

Our 28 CG extras move across the frame in both faster and slower walks, with subtle, neutral, white light coming from slightly left of camera and slightly right of camera. The lighting direction variations will help you match the plates to your existing scene, as well as allow you to flip them horizontally to change the direction of travel while maintaining lighting direction.

No need to remove green screen backgrounds; these perfectly pre-keyed ProRes 4444 files are ready to be dropped directly onto your timeline. Scale as-needed to place your digital actor closer to or further away from the camera, apply match moving data if applicable, color correct and add directional blur to taste.

If your CG actor needs to be backlit, darken and desaturate the camera cross plate and add a rim light with Reuben Lara's excellent After Effects preset: https://reubenlara.gumroad.com/l/2Drimlight.

Each file contains four camera crosses: left light/fast walk, left light/slower walk, right light/fast walk and right light/slower walk.

The files are 24 fps, 4K (4096 by 2304). Because they are extremely crisp and clean 3D renders with perfect alpha keys, they can be scaled up to 8K - and beyond - before adding directional blur. See our comparison graphics in the preview window at the top of the page.

Our license (shown below) is straightforward and broad. And because these actors are non-human, you'll never have to worry about securing model releases - or providing lunch.
