"Ladder Cleanup" Clean up Composite with Roto, Planar Tracking and Paint

"Ladder Cleanup" is a composite task I was assigned where the client requested that one the construction ladders were unsafe and inappropriately placed and needed to be removed. I started with doing a clean plate of the first frame which I then re-projected back on the footage using a planar tracker on the ladder. There where some small inconsistencies in the track which I fixed by warping the frame using the grid warp. After the ladder was removed I had to rotoscope the construction worker walking in front of both the ladder, but also the ladder's shadow on the floor.
The project was done in Blackmagic Fusion Studio, but since I also practiced the A over B pipe vertical script, with some nodes directly from Nuke (using the Reactor plugin), I would be able to recreate the exact same script in Nuke if I needed to.
