Tutorial: Making the Monsters
Here to all my indie-movie friends, an interesting technique worth noticing.
What might come handy on a shoe string budget production are a set of simple-to-achieve techniques which you can easily use to create a convincing shot. Take a look at the shot below. I will break it down for you in a few seconds.
Tips to keep in mind before the shoot:
1.Carry a tripod.
2.Shoot the background on a tripod and keep it shake free.
3.Shoot the same background handheld
4.Watch out for real monsters
Things needed at the post production table:
1. The tripod shot
2. The handheld shot
3. Any Compositing Software. Here I am using Adobe AE CS5
4. The Sign Board Image for Adding to the background
The Concept:
What we are gonna do is actually very simple to understand. We now have two videos. One with the shake and one without the shake.The ideal way is to motion track the handheld footage and apply the data to the Signboard image. BUT unless you do a very very detailed tracking, chances are high that your Signboard will just dance around. So here is a smart way out. Create a composition which is dimensionally lower than the actual footage.Import the Hand held footage. Motion track the footage and we take the motion tracker data and apply it to the steady footage and the signboard, SO THAT we will get a perfectly synced composite.
*You can also use an image instead of a video.
The Break down:
1 Import the footages and the signboard.
2.Motion track the video
3.Create a Null Object and apply the motion tracker data on to that.
4.Now drag the sign board and the steady cam footage to the composition
5.Link both to the Null object. Now the motion tracker data is applied to both those layers.
6. Thats it! A little color correction and your shot is good to go!

Tips for making a convincing CG Animation
When you are trying to create a photo realistic 3D animation,the tough as well as the most important part is to make it look convincing.Obviously this involves a lot of steps,starting from choosing the right texture, the lighting, the renderer so on and so forth.But today I am gonna tell you the 4 most important factors to consider and work on while doing a CG shot.
1.Frame Rate:
By default,most of the 3D applications render out the video sequences in 30FPS.This is to facilitate further need of frame rate alterations but most of us just go with the default fps and that makes the animation looks amateurish.Try to keep your animation frame rate at 24FPS.You can do this in your editing package as well.This will skip a couple of frames from your video and give it a Film Look.
2.Depth of Field:
Another very important factor which most of our regional animators conveniently forgets to use.Using a DOF in your 3D animation gives it a much natural feel and that sequence will blend seamlessly with the rest of your real footage.Its a bit difficult to use the 3D package's built in DOF generators but you can easily mock them by rendering out a Z-DEPTH sequence of the video and later use it on your compositing package to apply the needed blur.
3.Camera Movements:
Amateurish is when you see wiggly camera moves on a live action movie.But Professionalism is when you see wiggly camera moves on a CG movie. :) I think you got what i meant.
4.Film Noise:
A real scene is never that saturated and sharp. Add in some noise and blur to your CG shot.Use a screen shot from a real footage for reference and keep it subtle.
