3D Match-Moving and Compositing
This sample contains and example of 3D match-moving, set extensions, and compositing. This comes from a church building campaign promotional video. I was given the CAD geometry created by the architects.
To achieve this I:
- -Imported it in to 3D Studio MAX
- -Positioned a video segment behind it to act as a reference for manually matching my original camera moves.
- -Animated the 3D camera movements according to my original video footage
- -Matched the lighting / sun positioning
- -Rendered the scene without the reference video segment
- -Imported that scene into After Effects.
- -Placed the 3D sequence in the comp with the original footage
- -Extended elements in the 3D video to better match up with the existing footage
- -Extended the parking lots to mimic the still images rendered by the architects.
- -Rendered the final comp.
*Note: The second clip is a slow motion view of the comp.
