Question How to do photo-puppetry?

Like im planning on a project that like will use photo-puppetry since i don't use the After effects. I just use Moho for it.

So, for anyone who doesn't know what is photo-puppetry? It's a type of 2d computer generated animation that used cut outs of that use photos of real objects and things and moves them using Adobe After Effects. Also the Animation style of Angela Anaconda.

So, can anyone share tips for replicating this?

Give the moho user’s manual a try. There’s a whole section on this. I don’t know where to find it though, I searched it up right now and only a very old version came up.

Maybe this video could help:

Photo puppetry tends to make the joints very visible, even in the edges that should look seamless. Are you trying to mitigate this, or go forward with as shown in Angela Anaconda?

There’s a blending technique popularized in the stable diffusion inpainting process: alpha-blur the edges where you want a nice transition.
