Seeking an experienced digital compositor and post-production artist to handle a long-form actor substitution/character replacement project. The source material consists of a 1-hour video file (approximately 1080p resolution). The primary objective is to replace the on-screen talent's face with provided reference imagery (high-res photos/plates of the target likeness) while maintaining natural lighting, skin tones, and motion continuity. Scope of Work: Match-Moving & Tracking: Accurate facial tracking across varying angles, lighting changes, and expressions. Compositing & Blending: Seamless integration of the target likeness, handling edge feathering, occlusion (e.g., hair or hands passing in front of the face), and color grading to match the source footage. Cleanup & Polish: Manual rotoscoping and frame-by-frame artifact cleanup for critical scenes. Milestone Breakdown (Crucial for Quality Control): To ensure smooth collaboration, this project will be split into sequential milestones: Phase 1 (Test Clip): A 10-to-15 second test sequence using your pipeline to prove tracking quality and blend realism. (Paid milestone). Phase 2 (Act 1 / First 15 Minutes): Completion and review of the first quarter of the footage. Phase 3 (Remaining Footage): Delivery of the balance in agreed-upon segments. Required Skills & Experience: Proven portfolio demonstrating advanced VFX compositing, neural/machine-learning tracking workflows, or digital double integration. Proficiency in industry-standard tools (After Effects, Nuke, or custom Python/ComfyUI/Deep-learning tracking pipelines). Strong attention to detail regarding lighting alignment and temporal stability (avoiding flickering). To Apply: Please include links to your past reel or specific examples of character replacement, rotoscoping, or advanced compositing work. Proposals without relevant portfolio links will not be considered.

Hello, I hope your week is going well. I've handled face replacement and digital double work before, including a 40-minute documentary segment where we swapped a presenter's likeness onto a body double. The hard part there was temporal stability across cuts with shifting tungsten and daylight, so I built the pipeline around Nuke's smart vector and Mocha planar tracks feeding a DeepFaceLab pass, then graded each shot to the source. Probably the cleanest path for your 1080p footage is a hybrid: neural face swap for the base layer, manual roto cleanup on hair and hand occlusions, then per-shot color matching. Flicker is where most of these jobs fall apart, so I'd set up a frame-by-frame stability check early. Glad to walk through how I'd scope the 10-15 second test clip. Could we talk briefly about your reference plate resolution? Thank you, Zohaib
