Did anyone do a version of TFA that kept Kylo Rens helmet on during the Rey interaction scene?
StarkillerAG said:
DigMod did, in his “Heir to the Force” edit. It’s not very convincing, but it’s still an attempt.

Thanks StarkillAG, I didn’t know DigMod made that version. I think it needs to be rotoscoped to pull it off properly.

Yeah this was my first true edit that I had actually pushed to complete and get on IFDB. The side shots of Kylo during the interrogation, behind when talking to Snoke, and far shots when talking to Snoke were rotoscoped to retain his helmet. I had attempted to do the same with every scene during the interrogation, but the main issue was his hair. At the time I was very much learning how to mask and hadn’t yet dabbled in painting out things using image editors and then combining it with key framed masking. I’ve tried soliciting for community members who have a black series Kylo Ren helmet to finish the scene, but never received any bites. Maybe one day I can revisit the edit or someone with more skill can pull it off. There are a lot of things I’d go back and readdress in it. If you have any ideas or technique tips please let me know.
