Incorporating a 3D camera into an otherwise 2D shot, or mixing 3D and 2D layers together brings 3D reality to the 2D screen. But there's more to it than simply adding a camera or camera track to a composition. You need to match the characteristics of a real, physical camera: replicating how it sees the world. You need to match the color of the original shot, or maybe even make creative adjustments. You might need to tweak the lighting, match motion blur, or compensate for lens distortion. You might even want to take advantage of high dynamic range (HDR) imaging techniques or experiment with different filmic looks. In this course, Mark Christiansen takes you through these scenarios and the next step in After Effects compositing: matching a shot and making it look not just realistic, but cinematic.
Topics include:
Advanced color correction with multiple objects and Curves
Adding a light-wrap effect to composite into a backlit scene
Compositing into lens distortion
Recognizing and fixing rolling shutter
Matching motion
Working in HDR
Create cinematic color contrasts with Mojo
Customizing a film look with Looks
