This video shows the process I used to add a 3D figure (created and animated in iclone 3) to a live-action video using After Effects. The scene was used in the video Sports Day SFX: www.youtube.com The process involved: - Loading a sample background (a screenshot from the live-action video) into the iclone animation programme - Positioning and animating the iclone character so that it would match the live action video, - Working on the lighting in iclone, so that the character blended better with the background , - Replacing the sample backgound with a solid colour, - Exporting the animation as an avi file, - Importing this file into After Effects, - Moving the character across the screen (keyframes and position), - Keying out the solid colour, - Adding a shadow (using a mask), - Altering the opacity and and colour tone of the character - Using a mask to have a runner (that's me) running in front of the character I'm not sure why the screen shots of After Effects was of such poor quality. Maybe I was asking too much of my computer in terms of processing power when I was recording the screenshot.
