In this tutorial I teach how you can add yourself to famous movies!
This fun trick video effect (and a creative use for green screen) which was used by Quentin Tarantino in 'Once Upon a Time In Hollywood' to make it look like Leonardo DiCaprio's character Rick Dalton had appeared (or almost appeared) in The Great Escape, playing Steve McQueen's famous role of Captain Hilts. So technically we are not just adding me to these movies - such as by putting me in the background - we are actually doing a full actor / character replacement and having me interact with the other actors. A tutorial for this effect will be coming soon!
For Tarantino's film, cinematographer Robert Richardson shot DiCaprio in front of a green screen. The actor then read the identical lines McQueen said in the scene. The main challenge for Richardson was making sure he was shooting at the right height and using the right lenses.
I was inspired by this to try the same scene from The Great Escape, and also tried a few others: meeting Daniel Craig playing James Bond in Skyfall (in the National Gallery), Matt Damon in The Departed (the lift scene) and Leonardo DiCaprio himself as Jordan Belfort in The Wolf of Wall Street.
This trick is also somewhat similar to how Forrest Gump was inserted by ILM into archive footage meeting Presidents Kennedy, Johnson and Nixon. It is also a little similar to how you can complete a dead actor's performance, such as with Oliver Reed in Gladiator.
Made using our home green screen studio and some creative guesswork to recreate the lighting setups of each film, as well as the correct distances and focal lengths for our lenses.
The first thing I needed to do was to try and find some key scenes in films where two actors were appearing next to each other where I could replace one of them, and where there was some good possibilities for interaction. I saved a freeze frame each time the actor made a big movement and combined parts of these images in Photoshop to make a blank background. Then in After Effects I dropped this in over the top of the clip. Now I could draw a mask around the other actor because of we want him to still be moving on top of the still background. And then for any shots that move slightly we can use the motion tracker markers, so the blank background will move in exactly the same way as the original take. We used a green screen and a large key light with a soft box on it for copying the lighting in the original films. I had to learn the timings of the original clip because my performance had to be the same length. I found the easiest way to do this was to play the original clip on a loop and talk and move in time with it. I used Keylight in After Effects to remove the green screen, and Lumetri Color to match the colours.

Can u do something like crop amber heards head onto anna faris/ brandi and put elon musk's head on seth rogan
@@jasperhart1188😂😂
send you a message on instagram
Hey steve can you do a video editing using a mobile
@@typicahackermax8486 good idea actually! 👏
Imagine adding yourself to a movie scene and exporting the whole movie, and then invite a friend and watch the movie together 😂
Lmaooooooooooooo
Did that, took me 3 months to make the whole movie =))
Well shit, now i have to do this
@@clauditzu02 did you really?
SOMEONE HAS TO DO THAT
1. use mocha to auto find clean background for harder scenes with moving backgrounds.
2. use photoshop photomerge to auto allign and auto remove ghosts to clean background.
3. auto allign with photoshop photomerge, then create stack from layers and use median stack blending for actor removal (needs good footage).
Man this was great to follow along with! Incredible skill and patience to put it together. Keep it up!
Holy snappin, this takes passion, patience, dedication and a truck load of skill.
You're a master of your art.
The answer is easy: become an actor so you can add yourself into a movie
Tom Hanks is an actor, this method was used in Forrest Gump to replace him in Different events
@@KingNothing22 his name is Tum Hanks.
@@emilianoleiva9467 Tom lol I fixed it
Haha
Thanks for the advice. Let me know when your good enough to work with the big names
Steve you proved to us you are the best. Thank you for sharing your skills . I will sign up for your courses. You are a pro.
Respect brother,
we are blessed to find guys like you....
I thought the Bond clip looked the best, just perfect, would never notice
I have been searching for a channel like this for a long time. Bulls eye!! Thanks for beeing there for me!
I know this is an older video, but I wanted to say kudos to you. I'm a veteran TV director (30 years directing as of last summer); and a lot of these channels are filled with nonsense and many times simply incorrect info. But you sir, are pretty much on point. Your contrast is a little pumped in a few of the replacements, but over all, you did a great job and didn't put in any bullshit. Nice work! Subscribed.
That's a huge compliment, many thanks - stick around for more :)
Another outstanding tutorial, Steve! It must have been fun playing "Q" opposite Daniel Craig. LOL
Haha yes trying to desperately keep my over-acting under control 😂
Colossal work. So much attention to detail and patience. Idk, why I am watching this, but huge respect to author
This was great!!

,,,,,
I don't remember the last time I wrote comments of praise but this was so brialliant than I was forced to.😍😍
Love your videos, Steve. Appreciate all the hard work you really put in to all your tutorials. Fantastic and unbelievable the amount of effort you put into each one. Great stuff!
Many thanks!
The couch scene was the best. Spot on
I can't stop seeing the intro because the music is just fabulous of the intro😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
I haven't a clue why this popped up in my suggestions, but I thought.... What the heck! Let's give it a view! I've never been "on the big screen", and nor have I ever wanted to be!! However, seeing what this brilliant young professional is able to do - and may I say, sir, you make it look really simple (although I very much doubt that it is as easy as it looks) - that's the trouble with professionals whom make such D-I-Y videography!
Should I ever find myself producing a movie/film, then I'll be hiring you (assuming I can afford you, sir??).
You are an inspiration to us viewers.
Man you nailed the lighting on these
I like to add a layer of light film grain over the entire comp as a last step. This helps as a final "marrying" of the comp layers into one.
I'd like to know how long this project took.
WOW!!! OMG I can't wait to try this, thank you!
I checked this video and see it's only 11 minutes and told myself I could do it. but dude, the amount work you need to put to make this is incredible. It's lot of hardwork.
Loved this video and looking forward to watching the others- real cool.
That's gotta be the coolest thing I've seen! Just lights my mind on fire!
Excellent breakdown, thank you so much. I'm trying to figure out how to put myself into a car for the typical driving scene, have you thought about doing that as a tutorial? All the best
Was expecting deepfakes with the new whole-head replacement, but this was still neato burrito 🌯
Yup
Yeah same. His big head made me think it was just a head replacement 🥴
Neato Burrito lol
exatcly
I'm too into deep fakes, anything now seems too much manual labour lol..
Amazing Steve, your channel is just so mind blowing
Steve... You're really so good in this! I'd like to learn from you more on how you pull of these great tricks and tips. I have Adobe premiere and after effects but for now I don't know how to use them. Can you redirect me some sources (books, videos) which can be helpful for me as a beginner?
We might be doing a mini-course soon to teach the basics... stay tuned :)
Steve thanks for posting, amazing talent you have!
*The Departed one is the only one that feels a little bit off, the rest may as well be alternative scenes from those movies*
I can't wait to do this one day. I'm going to put myself into SOOOOO many scenes.
WOW!!👏👏👏👍👍👍👍🔥🔥🔥
I'm impressed and you explained the process well
This could be the way I get my big break on becoming an extra, like I always wanted to do.
Wow! You're doing the whole thing on your own ( acting, camera, lighting, studio setup, and post production).
Her : what do you do?
Me : I'm an actor, check this out.
Amazing video and great work! Really enjoyed!
That took a lot of hard work ! Great job
Why just don't use face tracking, instead? Much easier.
It’s easier, but it doesn’t look as good. Plus, it’s not what Tarantino did.
Full body & the replacement actors face may not match the original actor's body, that's why
ruclips.net/video/mqY8EnLpRfA/видео.html,,,,,,,,
Its okay if its only photoshop.
😁
because his face is too big to face tracking
this was dope...like it looks complicated but simple all at the same time. i am new at filmmaking. and i think i just need practice and to keep doing it. and everything hopefully will fall into place.
Steve is a legend.
Sooo cool. You are a real Pro. That was quite some work - but it was totally worth it!
This makes me want to watch Kung Pow: Enter the Fist again.
Holly cow! Now I need to add this to my checklist of things to do before die.
You have a good look. Works with these films too.
Imagine photoshopping your face with tony stark when he snapped his fingers. That would be epic
@JIM BO okay Scorsese lmao
@JIM BO you must be fun at parties
Love from india ❤️..
Keep it up bro
Great work ❤️
Cgi Green screen as if you are with pron actress.. Now that's epic
@JIM BO Marvel movies are the best movies in history
Appreciate your Work Man!
I love seeing people on RUclips being as obsessive and crazy as I am. Excellent work!
This is amazing, great job Steve! 👏👌🏻
Thanks so much! 😀
Hi Steve, I've just discovered your channel because someone accused me of copying your work. I must say I love what you do and have subbed. Nice one!
Haha many thanks!
Looks fun to recreate all this, great work
Man, you're a legend - fantastic tutorial 😉👌
I am just starting out and was looking for a basic green screen tutorial. Your video is way beyond anything I want to do but I was amazed by what you did. I hardly ever leave a post but felt I had to this time to say what an amazing video!
That was really interesting to watch and see how such fx are done. A lot of work but wow! What a great result.
This is actually a good acting practice
I can't think of any reason why, but your head looks too big in the final result.
In the elevator right!
Wrong kind of lense maybe
A 16 mm lense will make a head look smaller, a 50 mm lense will make it wider and bigger, or was it the other way around :l
This is crazy! It actually worked!
you have done this tremendous beautifully
@Steve Ramsden there is a reason why you over 160.000 subscribers. Amazing stuff. Chapeau !!
Pls make a video in which you and your clone can physically interact with each other like fight,shake hand,hug,slap..As there are no videos on RUclips like that..
Love it, great idea though will be a difficult one! 👍
@Steve Ramsden - Unexplored Films Did u fucking replied me?Im surely dreaming.. Jokes apart if that can be achived in DIY that will be just more than awesome.. If u search on youtube there are no videos even close to that..By the huge fan keep up the good work man..
wow! I came for tutorial and i Found GOLD! Greeting from Venezuela.
Instant subscriber!
anyone else want to do this but are too lazy🙋♀️
the bond one looks good
Bravo Buddy! Great work and great tutorial.
Uhm, man i know i could sound dumb but there are deepfakes that you can make.
ruclips.net/video/mqY8EnLpRfA/видео.html😭😭😭😭😭😭🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Just wow.... nice work!
I was planning to shoot a double role interview clip and your video gave a a few good tips on how to do it. I will share the link of the final outcome, once it’s ready.
You should do a full tutorial on the clone stamp tool and how you got it to work
It's so easy for us and I can't believe that you create a RUclips video of this
The best tutorial I have seen !!
Wow! Utterly brilliant! This is one of the only times I've ever subscribed within only 2 minutes of my first-time exposure to your content, Steve Ramsden! Beyond an assortment of characteristics that make a video enjoyable, I think what got me to subscribe so rapidly was that split-screen highlight montage displaying the cohesive variety of your content.
Thanks, very kind - there's lots more on the channel to check out :)
I love how well you blended with the movie clips!! XD
You're amazing and very gifted. Thank you for sharing this video with us all.
thank you!
you're a freaking genius man
NOW YOU ARE A GENIUS
Wow, cool effects! Well done.
Great job! I enjoyed this. You are very talented! Thanks for making the video.
i'm currently preparing to make a video where i insert myself into a dramatic telenovela fight scene, and needless to say this was immensely helpful, thank you so much!!!!
You are an real artist.
OMG impressive. Love your work!
Very well explained, It makes It sound possible even for someone without any knowledge in movie editting like me
I loved the one with James Bond.
You're incredibly talented dude
Thanks, very kind
Man, this is awesome, you're great !!! Thanks for all of this tricks.
I never started yet to do them on my own, but it's a delight to watch you doing it.
Wow this guy looks more spitting image of actor in Great Escape, Angus Lennie, ‘Ives the tunneller’!! You shoud have found a scene of his. Good stuff.
You make it look so easy, I'm going to try it and it's going to take me weeks and I'm going to pull my hair out. I'm still going to try it though, this is awesome.
Ok. This is some next level next level stuff!
The narrative and explanations were great, even for a newbie in those Adobe software
Amazing. Great job sir
Wow this is so clever and really effective
Thankyou Steve that was really very great. You have enticed me to do something like that. Why don't you teach people online. I might be your student too..
You're killing it! What a talent! 👏
Why thumbs down?? this is very informative... and a good bit of fun during lockdown ...
awesome job my friend . enjoyed watching this
BRO THIS IS SO GOOD I WISH I COULD DO THIS OHMYGOD
A lot of work put in. Outstanding job. Subscribed.
The only thing I'd change (apart to make the script comic) is that colour should be a two stage process. Do colour correction first so it looks real and as it did on the day, then stylise, else you are trying to bend the colour curves too much. Footage shoudl be colour correct befoer effects are added.
Oh, and old audio - how long you got? Don't get me started! LOL Great video, I subscribed! :D
Amaaaaaaaazing value fire bomb. Thanks for being you and making this.
