  • Motion tracking dilema – LOGO ON WALL TO BE OVERLAPPED

    Posted by Stefan Fujiki on March 9, 2009 at 10:15 am

    The effect I’m trying to accomplish is:

    I have a poster (logo which was photoshop’d onto the wall) on the wall with an on-coming train arriving. As the train passes by, I want the train to go past the logo rather than the logo be over the footage as the train passes.

    I thought of motion tracking but couldn’t find the correct term for what I wanted to accomplish.

    Thanks!

    You need to rotoscope (animate) a mask on the “photoshopped” poster image that follows the shape of the train as it passes it by. You can accomplish that by simple drawing a mask on the poster layer with your pen tool, turn on keyframing for that particular mask, then create keyframes along your timeline for the duration of the train passing by.

    Gotcha!

    Just getting back into AE so a lot of the sneaky basics have slipped away from me. Going to accomplish it tonight, will post the finished results!
