3D Camera Tracking in After Effects- recreate famous movie scenes

3D Camera Tracking in After Effects- recreate famous movie scenes
With this easy after effects tutorial you will learn all the basics of a 3d camera track / tracking in After Effects with the built in "3d camera tracker"
Learn how to set up a scene, apply the effect and work with it.
Learn how to improve the results within the 3d camera tracker and how to create reference null / nulls and a reference solid with a grid layer effect applied.
You will also learn how to create a 3d camera and how to import 2D as well as 3D objects into your seen.
Learn how to finalize your shot with motion blur and also learn some handy tips and tricks on how to customize your motion blur.
As an extra step you will learn how to easily set up lights (point lights) to give it a realistic look and I will guide you through the process of animation depth of field in two different ways.
The first way is to set up depth of field within the camera settings. Turn on depth of field and adjust the focus distance as well as the aperture and the blur level.
As a second step I will show you in an easy way how to apply and animate depth of field with the effect "camera lens blur".
Learn how to recreate famous movie scenes as well as music video effects and video intros.
We will recreate the hallway with pumpkins and fire to make it look like in Harry Potter. We are going to recreate the Intro from "13 reasons why" by adding polaroids in 3d space to our scene.
And we are going to bring it one step further and bring in real 3d objects (obj) with the plugin from videocopilot element 3d which is perfect for that job.
With Element 3D we are goint to take a look at the music video from Eminem Godzilla and we are recreating 3d knifes that are floating in the air like in refrain scenes of eminem s music video.
You will also learn about setting up compositions in After Effects, the 3D space, the grid effect and detail effects that make a shot look realistic, like light, motion blur and depth of field.

never done that before, but as it works for AE and Cinema4d, I guess you could extract the camera in one of those programs and it should work just fine!

[@aliigi4178]

hi nice job , ty does 3D camera tracker track points in desert or empty rooms as good as your location ? goodluck bro

[@flo.motion]

hey, of course the more contrast the tracker has, the more points he will find. that's why you put "tracking markers" on a movie set or on a green screen; to help your tracker

[@jadorn]

Love your tut and subscribed! I am trying to follow step by step in my own project and I keep losing view of second layer (the equivalent of the postcard in your example) after I create the solid and camera on the three track points. It just disappears. If I take 3D off it comes back. But it needs to be 3D so that doesn’t help. 2-view shows a huge cluster way off camera and I figure that’s why i lose the view but I don’t know how to get it back. Thank you for help!

[@flo.motion]

Hey, looks like its 3D position is simply outside of your viewport! Try to zoom out. Or create a null object out of a tracking marker (right click on it) and paste that position onto your layer! Let me know if that solves the issue!!

[@jadorn]

@@flo.motion Thank you for such a quick reply! That was correct, and I was able to locate it. I'm wondering why the layer is moving so far off camera when I copy/paste a tracking marker's position?

[@SitinprettyProductions]

Hi, thanks for this great tutorial. May I ask why you copied and pasted the position points instead of pick whipping them to the null / does whipping them to the null do the same thing?

[@flo.motion]

Pigwhipping them should do the same thing! And you can easily reposition later, which is not that easy when you have to move many keyframes at once!

[@SitinprettyProductions]

@@flo.motion Great! Thanks for the clarification :)
