Emulation/Experiment 2


This is first started when I saw some motion tracking a film advert I was watching at the cinema. I saw the text following an object around the scene and just thought it would tie in well with my scamp idea of real life objects. 

I first started by taking a video of the pan I was going to use with the object I will tracking off. I made sure their was a contrasting area for the tracker to follow when analysing the video. 

I then imported the footage, and set to work on imputing the text. I started by motion tracking an area I wanted the text to follow. I added a null object to where I based the track, and then attached the text to it. This then meant I just needed to blend the text into the scene, which I did by adding a small reflection and shadow at the bottom of the text. I then found my video was slightly too short. So I freeze framed the end of the video allowing the text to stay there for a second or two. I found this looked really strange as the wrest of the video was in motion, compared to the end. I decided to pre-compose my work and add camera wobble as if someone was holding the camera. I feel this gave it a really nice effect, and actually improved the outcome of my short clip.
