Matchmoving Test

Finally got my head around syncing the camera and 2D elements in After Effects.
Take a look at this Example Movie.

Note to SteveC. It makes sense to use the scale of 1 pixel in AE = 1m in LW. That way I know exactly where type gets placed in AE's 3D. Since all our models are wildly out of scale, it makes sense to use the demo scene I set up, and work to that.

Layout and quick test for Theatre Sequence

Below is composite backdrop for the 'road to ruin' sequence.



Here's an Rough Layout, with the backdrop scrolling. It shows the position and scale of the Steam Drag, and an indication of lighting and mood. Click on it to see it animated

Would you belive it, After a visit to Pollocks, I found an original backdrop that fits the storyboard perfectly!
