In early 2008 I was asked to produce some visual effects for a music video for an artist called “Example”, and the video for his song “Me and Mandy”. The effect involved grafting a human’s face (which moved and spoke) onto that of an Iguana. There were three shots and each varied with camera motion and the motion of the lizard’s head. In this visual effects video tutorial I will run you through how to successfully track a camera shot in PFTrack, one which includes both camera motion and also object motion. Following on from this I show you how to export the tracking data in order to use it in 3ds Max, before going on to attaching a model to the data, setting up the textures and materials in post, before finalising by briefly touching on some possible compositing methods for a shot of this type.
