    Hi there,
    I am making some videos for a client and what i need to do is to use a real person’s eyes and mouth and key them with on object for example on an apple. Please see the following video
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LwSB1mZqobA

    I know those eyes and mouth are from a real person. I just don’t know how can those mouth and eyes can stay so stable. I tried using Stablize Motion to track and it couldn’t achieve that result.

    While we are filming the footage, we asked the talent try not to move too much but it’s hard to control the facial expression.

    I am just wondering if there’s any tips on doing that?

    Thanks and appreciated any reply.

    Hello Dave,
    Thanks for your reply. I know that puppety thing is added AFTER the face is composited on it. and i know the eyes are bigger than in real life. Also, i understand that the talent’s mouth and eyes aren’t in the precise same location as in real life. i think the eyes, the mouth and the puppety thing are all in different layers. let’s say at least 3 different layers.
    I am just wondering if i can get the same result using After Effect 2D compositing and that the mouth and eyes are really stable.

    Thanks

    haha, ok,
    And what’s about tracking the eyes and mouth as the objects move like at the time “1:58 – 2:00” on the following video

    When they were filming it, do they need to put dots or something on those oranges so as the oranges (dots) rotate/move, the eyes and mouth can rotate too?? It seems like there’re more work need to be prepared/done in order to get this works.

    Thanks
