thanks for the response, though that still doesnt really make sense to me.. if they motion track it and import it into after effects, i dont see how the footage could possibly match up. it would look like a seperate flat floating clip, thats floating along to the motion of the camera, wouldnt it?
i found another youtuber that has done a similar thing, does anyone think he’s on the right track?

i tried to do the same thing he’s doing but he’s using syntheyes and 3dsmax where im using boujou and maya, both of us are using after effects tho. my only issue is when i tracked it, it exported the camera positions at different orientations then he represents in his video. and it doesnt seem like his method work as good, with a free moving camera.
