I did some wire removal for a feature and was curious to know if other VFX artists had a preferred method for performing such tasks.

The Wire Removal effect in After Effects did not work for what I was doing and I had to create various backplates based off of the shot I was given. Then I used Mocha to rotoscope sections of the shot and created layers. It felt like a lot of steps but in the end it worked and wasn't a huge pain and didn't take too incredibly long, maybe just a few hours for that one shot.

What are your methods?
