Week 5 – 2D VFX

During the space of this workshop I looked at how 2D Visual Effects can be incorporated into moving images.

I was showed examples of scenes of films/ TV shows with before VFX and after VFX, And how they can be used to enhance and improve a films aesthetic and logistics.

After that I was tasked with applying a image to a video using marker points.

I found out that if a video has a low frame rate it makes it a lot harder for the marker points to track the footage as motion blur occurs much easier compared to a higher frame rate.

Once this was done the next task to perform a sky replacement from  a piece of footage using a image of another sky.

2D motion capture does have its limitation however because if any of the selected pixels the marker pins are tracking disappear off frame or become obstructed the tracking will be lost.
