When I originally spoke of this idea at the beginning of the project we all agreed how important it was for it to look like we had more alien soldiers than we had. I remembered reading on Andrew Kramer's blog back a while about a short SWAT police sequence he shot where he turned three guys in SWAT uniform into 12. He didn't do a tutorial but he briefly mentioned that he used split screen and rotoscoping.
After we talked about it Gergo very quickly began work on a test of this technique and in all fairness it took quite some time for him to rotoscope. We quickly could see where the problems would occur and this helped us form the workflow used to duplicate our soldiers in the final shots.
Here is a link to the original test shot.
