John Bigboote Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 Yeaaaah. We'll need a little more info... You'll need a good 3D app and need to know it inside and out. Probably want a 3D tracker like Syntheyes to match your camera shots. A good compositor like After Effects or the sort. Photoshop of course... AND a good editing program like Vegas or Premiere or Final Cut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric800 Posted August 5, 2009 Author Share Posted August 5, 2009 There are different answers for different mixing. Explain more about what you are trying to do. Well, I saw a AM little movie clip of a car going down the road and a T-rex chasing him, I would like to do something similar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I saw a AM little movie clip of a car going down the road and a T-rex chasing him, I would like to do something similar. In that case, they put a CG object on top of live video. That's probably easiest. They shot the car footage first. (notice that the camera never moves during the shot) They converted it to a Quicktime movie or (better) a targa sequence. they put that in an A:M chor as a rotoscope onthe camera . They adjusted the camera to match the perspective of the rotoscope. They animated the Dinosaur to look like it was reacting to the car. Render. That's a bare bones explanation. There's tut around here somewhere that explains how to get CG shadows to show up on the live footage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
