Apply phong shader materials to the spheres. Create a scene with a ground plane, two spheres, a spot light and an ambient light.

PART 1: Create the source image sequences. Using the Alpha Channel to blend to separate renderings. As an alternative, in Part III the open source software “Open Shot” is used.

In Part II the process to composite the two movies together is demonstrated with iMovie HD. In Part I the process used to create the background and foreground images is summarized along with compiling them in Quicktime Pro. A backround movie file is created in jpg format, and an overlay movie file is created using an alpha channel in either tga or png format. T hese notes provide a relatively straighforward technique for overlaying separate renderings of the same scene and from the same camera. COMPOSITE RENDERING AND EDITING WITH IMOVIE
