In today’s lesson with Gary I continued with Adobe After Effects. Today he told us how to work with video and how to track.
Firstly I imported the video which I wanted to use, which was an abandoned building as I can think of a lot of creative ideas such as blood splatter on the walls, graffiti, reflections in the puddle. From the tracking a bunch of miniature hit markers appeared which are points in 3-D space this tells me what I can put where. From this I created a camera solid which means I can put whatever I want onto the surface of the hit marker(s). I put a blood splatter on the wall which looks really cool. From there I turned down the opacity to suit the darkness of the room the video was in currently before the person moves.
As you can see, the blood splatter on the wall will stick whilst the camera moves so it is like it is really in the video.
