  Text floating above a person’s head

  Posted by Adhish Yajnik on October 7, 2007 at 1:41 am

  I’m trying to get the same effect as the verizon wireless commercials, in which someone who’s “in the network” has the word “wireless” (or verizon or something) floating above their heads, following them as they move around.

  I’m not sure is this is some sort of motion capture thing or what, and I’m just completely clueless as to where to begin or look, so I’m posting here!

  Thanks!

  Yeah… I don’t have After Effects 7 Pro, just After Effects 7.

  Which means I don’t have motion tracking.

  Thanks for your help though. I have other software capable of motion tracking, so now I know what I have to do as far as linking things to the motion of specific track points.
