Old factory – clean plate and composite

[John Cuevas]

I still haven’t found a client I need to buy this for yet.

I’ve watched a few of the element tutorials and I think you can apply some ambient occlusion to the elements. That would sell the bucket being on the ground more. Nice job on the tracking though. I like the camera shake at the end too.

Good point. Actually there’s an aescripts product called “Elementary” which will create shadows and reflections for Element, Proanimator , Particular and similar plug ins. The shadowing in Element is pretty weak at this point.

On closer inspection there are no shadows being cast by the pillars in the room, so any shadowing on the can would stand out as not being appropriate for the lighting environment.

The tracking looks great. Initially I was also thinking about the shadow as John suggested but you clarified that point.

Is possible to achieve this type of tracking with AE 3D camera Tracker since I don’t have SynthEyes?

I havent tried it, but the AE tracker is very capable and I would guess that it would do a fine job, Vishesh.

Revised version to correct slight tracking area on paint can.
