  • ref.: substitution of logo in bottle

    Hi all,
    I need to make a change in a logo on a bottle. The problem is that bottle has a relief that affect to the letters. I was wondering if this can be make in AE without need to make this part of bottle in 3D and add the texture with new title. Here i am attaching 1 frame example of it.

    What part needs substitution?
    is the bottle moving?

    it seems complicated with AE, maybe Photoshop?

    the logo KUBUS. Can’t use photoshop cause is in motion not just one frame. i always have the option of 3D of the bottle but i thought i may save that step…

    I’m new to using AE but I think there might be a solution to your problem.

    If it is just the logo lettering that is to be replaced I would edit that sample frame in photoshop- Color out the letters so they match with the bottle’s base color, then apply the new logo typeface over that section.

    Use photoshop’s tools to distort the text where it should conform to the bottle’s unique shape.

    Create a matte of that one section of adjusted bottle face-separating it from the rest of the picture.

    Use the newly matted image to layer over your footage of the bottle in the sand. You will have to do some lighting to make in blend well- which can also be done in photoshop.

    If there is camera movement in the beach shot you will need to get tracking data of the bottle’s face. When you have the tracking data, apply it to a null object, then parent the adjusted logo image to the null and it should stick to your bottle!

    Obviously- it’s just a theory- but hopefully it works or might make you think of a similar way to complete the project. Hope this helps!
