Final Product What You'll Be Creating

In this tutorial Naim Alwan ventures outside of After Effects for a little bit of 3D Matchmoving to create this stunning Urban Jungle effect where vector graphics are perfectly tracked to some city footage. In day 1 you will learn how to do a track using Boujou (although any matchmoving software will work for this) and then import and apply that information in After Effects successfully.

Naim explains:

In this two part tutorial you will learn the workflow for seamlessly integrating live action footage with motion graphics elements.

The first day we are going to be spending a little time familiarizing ourselves with the camera tracking process using Boujou, and the settings we need to get right in order to export an AE camera track.

We will then use the information contained on the nulls to setup the scene. Once the track is imported in AE and scene setup we will shift our focus to Illustrator where we will cover the layer setup we need in order to import an Illustrator file into AE.

          I can't wait to try ... no wait... boujou cost $10,000 .... um wtf? What kind "tutorial" is this? Anyone who can afford that kind of software is a professional and already knows how to use it.

          This is TUTally useless!

                          Just wondering if there is an alternate program I could use instead of Boujou?

                                                                                                    Would you make another tutorial for learning other features of boujou? like make the track of a scene with a more complex camera movement, for example a circular or maybe you know about other links with video tuts of boujo.

                                                                                                    One more time a lot of THANKS!!
