coin toss
Hello,
I am working on a project that has a shot of a coin being tossed up in the air – towards camera- then falling away from camera – back into the actor’s hand. I have considered trying to shoot the throw- using a boom against green screen- but that seems pretty unpredictable. Using AE, is there a way to shoot a stationery coin (both sides) – then animate the toss and perspective- so that I get my boom shot coming towards camera then falling away from camera? Perhaps the better question is: how would I do this, and how complicated will it be?!
Thanks all,

Looking at the ae file you posted got me thinking- why not lock off my camera, frame tight on a table top with green screen, spin the coin, then flip it in AE and composite it with the hand toss – adjusting the size as it comes up thru the air towards camera, then reducing the size as it falls away?
It might take a bit of rotoscoping… but should work?
thanks again
