animation concept Feb. 18, 2009, 7:46 a.m.

i want to understand how a video was created with houdini–i am a student playing around with 3d concepts ( i know bryce faily well)

its on the houdini site but cannot find it again
its a crowd of people in a university coutyard playing with what looks like a sizzler–throwin it from student to student–see if my knowledge on how this was made is close.

one –create a video of individual persons throwing and catching things–or a group of persons throwing and catching things–all against a flat background–white, blue or green–not to important.
two–bring this video into houtini–mask out the background–create a layer and a put a image of a gothic university court yard.
three–now we have a background layer and a video layer.
four–create a sparker with a particle generator–so it is like a sphere–also create a line and use that as a emiter for a sparker effect–this is also a layer.
now somehow have all the individual frames of the video on some sort of a timeline

place the sparkler/line image and keyframe it to various persons in the crowd

any direction would be really helpful
