  Animation ontop of a still image and reflection.

  Posted by Matthew Clode on January 21, 2013 at 8:41 am

  So I was browsing around Reddit and I saw this.

  I would like to learn how he achieved this..

  What I think I know about it so far:

  -Mask out the spinning top, and lay it ontop of the image.

  However the problem that gets me is making the reflection.
  I guess he defined a plane to set the “desk” and then made the reflection.

  Is there some sort of tutorial that could show me how to achieve the lighting effect like this?

  Thanks!
