  • Compositing 3D objects into AE stills?

    Posted by Chaernon Adrian on January 15, 2017 at 11:54 am

    I have a couple dozens stills in front of a green screen and I`m thinking about making a 2.5D music video. So, no video, but around 70 pictures shot at different angles and situations depending on the scene I want to create.

    Now I obviously need to do a lot of compositing because I`m going for an 80s retro futuristic video and the character is in front of a green screen.

    I need to use a car A LOT of times, a specific car and I`m afraid I`m not able to get 2D pictures of the car that is shot from all the angles possible that I would need so I`m pretty limited right there with only one angle of the car [the side]. I`m using FREE pexels website to get pictures and backgrounds.

    Now the other option would be to use a 3D model of a car which can be angled however I would like it to, BUT I do not have any experience with CINEMA4D or Cineware tracking soft or any other 3D modeling software for that matter. I also do not know any website that has free CC0 [commercial use] models of cars. Maybe someone around here knows one?

    How hard would it be to achieve this 3D thing? I`m also on a timed project so I cannot afford to lose too much time working on the project.

    PS: Also, any other technique that might be easier and newbie friendly to achieve, I`m ready to hear it.

    Hi, people have been known to get a toy model of the car and then shoot stills from the angles they need – would that work stylistically for you?
