Here&#8217;s a tutorial on how you can duplicate small groups of people to create a crowd in Premiere Pro and other NLEs.<\/h2>\n<p>Whether it&#8217;s an angry mob or a gaggle of adoring fans, large crowds are a necessary part of many films \u2014 even small ones. Watch the tutorial below to see how easy it is to build a crowd of your own in Premiere Pro.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/DMmQWL2BJuA?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 id=\"extra-expenses\">Extra Expenses<\/h3>\n<p>In the days before computers, filmmakers simply hired extras, dressed them in costume, and put them in front of the camera. The 1959 film <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt0052618\/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">Ben-Hur<\/a><\/em> used 10,000 extras.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt0120737\/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-wpel-link=\"external\"><em>The Lord of the Rings<\/em><\/a> trilogy made use of the New Zealand Armed Forces.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, real life extras can get expensive fast. Even at minimum wage, once you factor in parking, food, and makeup, you can spend $100+ a day per extra, which makes a crowd a big expense.<\/p>\n<p>Big Hollywood movies often use completely digital extras \u2014 made by the VFX department \u2014 to populate their stories. One program in particular, Weta Digital&#8217;s &#8220;MASSIVE,&#8221; makes big crowds look very realistic. But, at $16,000 <em>before<\/em> any actual animation is done, it isn\u2019t a cheap solution.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 id=\"selective-masking\">Selective Masking<\/h3>\n<p>One cost-effective way to get the best of both worlds is to use a small group of extras and duplicate them into a larger crowd. This is done by carefully shooting multiple passes, with the extras standing in different locations, and then laying these &#8220;plates&#8221; on top of one another. With selective masking, the small group can be duplicated as many times as needed.<\/p>\n<p>Start on set. To save yourself headaches later, it&#8217;s important to get the different groups as close as possible, but <em>not<\/em> overlapping<b>.\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.premiumbeat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/masking1-1.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-134713 size-full\" title=\"Selective Masking\" src=\"https:\/\/www.premiumbeat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/masking1-1.jpg\" alt=\"Selective Masking\" width=\"755\" height=\"460\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/masking1-1.jpg 755w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/masking1-1.jpg?resize=300,183 300w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/masking1-1.jpg?resize=277,169 277w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/masking1-1.jpg?resize=359,219 359w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/masking1-1.jpg?resize=543,331 543w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/masking1-1.jpg?resize=560,341 560w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/masking1-1.jpg?resize=150,91 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 755px) 100vw, 755px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>You can use marks on the ground or on the camera display.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.premiumbeat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/masking-2-1.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-134714 size-full\" title=\"Selective Masking\" src=\"https:\/\/www.premiumbeat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/masking-2-1.jpg\" alt=\"Selective Masking\" width=\"755\" height=\"443\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/masking-2-1.jpg 755w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/masking-2-1.jpg?resize=300,176 300w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/masking-2-1.jpg?resize=277,163 277w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/masking-2-1.jpg?resize=359,211 359w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/masking-2-1.jpg?resize=543,319 543w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/masking-2-1.jpg?resize=560,329 560w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/masking-2-1.jpg?resize=150,88 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 755px) 100vw, 755px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Shoot your plates one after another.
