Lost Video Island

I'm doing a Lost/Supernatural crossover vid, and in it, I really need to make it look like Claire is having her baby in a hospital, because it really wouldn't make sense for her to have the baby in a jungle.

Anyway, I'm not really sure how to do it.

I thought of using the scene where Sun has HER baby, but I'd need to show Claire's face somehow... Any ideas?

what about the scenes in Maternity Leave where Ethan is checking Claire's belly?

or if you need claire crying/in pain; i would just use Sun's like leg area and show a clip of claire upset when she visits her mother at the end of Par Avion. Or crop really close to Claire's face when she delivers Aaron and lighten it. for a split second scene, paired with Sun giving birth, you'd get away with it

Maybe use Sun's hospital scenes but stay in close so that you don't catch glimpses of her face or hair, then cut to some extreme close-ups on Claire's face to help hide the not-hospitally

background? You might need to do some colorizing, brightening and/or desaturating tricks to try and balance out the differences in lighting from the two scenes as well to help them to match better. (Black and white is the ultimate different lighting balance-outter, if nothing else seems to work!

)

Good luck, hon! It sounds awesome!
