Roto-Scoping : After Effects Title Work

I ran into a problem on one of my last titles, in the fact I wanted part of the clip to overlay the text. As you'll see from the two frames below, the moment Ricky stepped infront of the text the white overlay would affect his face and it looked unnatural  I wanted to leave the text on the brick yet have ricky walk past it without the two clips affecting each other.



So I first duplicated the base layer with Ricky walking, then carefully I made a basic RotoScope of him and then going by frame by frame of the clip I touched it up and made sure the mask fitted properly.


Once completed I applied the RotoScope to composition and I was able to have Ricky walking past the text without being effected by the white overlay making the text look like it is in fact on the wall.
