  3D Text behind shot video

  Posted by Eugene Garza on September 17, 2009 at 4:46 pm

  I’m not sure if this should be in AE or a 3d program. But I want to know if anybody knows how you place 3D text into a scene that keeps the perspective of the video as used in movie trailers you see on TV. You know when a movie is out and they show reviews of the movie that says, “Intense”,Thriller”, etc. and the words are placed behind the actor or something? I’m an experienced AE user and a very basic C4D user. I can export comps from C4D for use in AE. Thanks for your help.

  Hi and thank you. We’re shooting our anchor in the studio or in the field. And I’m going to place text behind him. So he actually won’t be walking through the text. But there may be a camera pan or crane shot and I want the text to look like it’s in the scene and keeping the same perspective as the scene with lights, shadows, etc. Fortunately, we’re planning on shooting this and it’s not some existing shot that we’re trying to work with. I see you work for an ABC affiliate. So do I. KVUE Austin. Thanks for your response.

  Thanks a lot for your help. I guess I need to get SynthEyes or something. Don’t think I can just do this in AE and C4d. I’ll check. Thanks.
