Sup guys i'm Hardisk and today's a tutorial on how we did the principal effect in our latest video
For those of you who noticed it, we used a greenscreen for this piece, this effect is pretty simple when you start to explain it
I'm gonna show you, let me disable all the effects and masks here. So this is the basic video.
So the idea is, we used a lot of tracking wether is point/plane tracking in 2D or even 3D tracking sometime.
This video didn't require a lot of rotoscope , I read a couple of your messages thinking it did but the tracking was really challenging
So let's do this, first thing I did is a Garbage matte, what that is is a simple mask so we work with only the vital information : the actor
Next up, remove the greenscreen with Keylight, tip : use the Screen Mate view to see if you're doing a good job.
Then, specialy for that shot, I tracked the bars behind me with a Rectangle in Mocha and applied it to the video.
As you can see Mocha applied a corner pin, in that case you can remove it because you don't care about the video placement.
The cloaking was made with Twitch, a popular motion design tool , and a simple opacity lowering.
The Curves effetcs is used for blending the character with the scene even more.
Last tip : Use motion blur, here you can see the camera generate some and if it's not activated, it breaks the effects.
Speaking about Motion Blur, if the one generated by After Effects isn't correct, you can go in your comp settings
then get into advanced and change the shutter angle and shutter phase, they are the parameters wich control the motion blur in AE
So there you have it, have fun !
