The lighting of the Christmas Tree at Saint Mary’s University in San Antonio, Texas. December 2024.

Shot with a DJI Mavic Pro 3 drone.

The client isn’t happy with the “bald spot” of inactive lights in the middle of the Tree.

I have tried to fill it in using After Effects and I couldn’t get it to work.

I tried isolating the tree from the background, putting it into a sub-comp then trying to fill in the blank space with “Content Aware Fill” I think THAT should have worked, but it didn’t work. Or at least, I couldn’t get it to work.
