No, we need the kid to disappear in the shot, like vanish, but everything is still there and we don't know what software to use. I was looking into FX Home software to see if I can do this but I didn't find anything.
1. With the person in shot doing their acting.
2. The same shot, same angle, but no actor.
Then use a particle generator, something like 'Wondertouch Particle Illusion'. This will add the point of interest when the person disappears.
Wondertouch do have a plugin/extension which works with Apple Motion. You can download some demo examples of the extension.
I would first mask the person how you would want them to disappear. And use this to know where the particle effects need to appear and move to and from.
If you have not filmed the two shots I have mentioned then try and find a still frame where the actor is not in shot, and use this for your empty background.
Or you could have the camera on a tripod, film, stop everything, have the actor walk offscreen, and then start everything back up and do something in post. I like the effect of a flash of light for teleportations, personally. To be honest, when someone glitters when they teleport it just looks bad.
We have just finished a film where our actor was sat in front of a mirror. Our actor then fades away leaving his reflection still talking and then his reflection fades out too.
We shot it all without camera movement then filmed it all without the actor.
Our editor then overlaid the footage and had to splice it down the middle and fade each piece out individually.
As soon as it is fully finished I will post a link.
