  • How do i get This Type of Seethrough Tracking?

    Posted by Phil Kappur on April 26, 2017 at 5:35 pm

    Hello there!

    I’ve recently watched the following video:
    https://www.instagram.com/p/BTUuTqojGU3/?taken-by=saberawr
    and absolutely loved the look of it.
    I’m shooting a Grafitti Video myself right now and therefore i’m asking myself how they achieved this seethrough look with the tracked Background (The background is moving with the camera if i’m not mistaken ???? )
    I’m pretty new to After effects and have just done simple tracking for Text in my videos…
    If someone can give me a Hint on how to achieve such a look that would be great!

    Thanks in Advance!
    Phil

    I’d say get a can of green (or any other primary color, really) spraypaint and just use Keylight on it.

    I don’t really see the camera tracking. It just seems to be a key. But if you need to do that, I would try stabilizing the footage rather than tracking the camera. In this example there’s practically nothing to track.

    The Thing i’m trying to achieve is that It looks like the sprayed paint is “dissolving” the Canvas to get a look at something behind,
    but this Background layer is staying in place (like it would be in a real world scenario when there is a hole in the canvas in front) when the camera Pans and moves.

    Wouldnt there be a lot different look if the Paint was just “See Through” onto the “steady” edited Background layer while the camera moves with the arm?

    Thanks very much to both of you!!
    Especially for pointing out that tracking would not be necessary at all, I think I’m getting my head around the concept now ????
