  • Line animation within filmed footage

    Posted by Tom Marsh on June 3, 2014 at 1:18 am

    Hello Creative cow community

    I would like to incorporate some drawing elements within some filmed footage. For example: Create a trail from a particular element within a Tracking shot. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FQv8OavpALQ Let’s say there would be a string coming from the back of Ray Liotta’s head.

    How could I animate such a thing so as it appears to be continuously flowing from his head as he moves through the screen?

    That is a strange example but highlights what I want to do.

    In the best case I would like to do this with AE. Maybe with some Illustrator elements??

    ANY suggestions would be very much appreciated!!!

    Thanks in advance
