For this small project, we were tasked with tracking a face onto a man walking down a corridor. We were given stock images and footage to be used in the project.
First, I precomposed each of the layers and began to edit the footage of the walking man by creating a "Keylight" to remove the greenscreen background and a mask to remove most of the watermark and shadow beside the feet.
Next, I used the tracker After Effects plugin "Mocha" to make a tacker on the man's face and track it by position.
Then, I used the newly created tracker to fix the head to the top of the walking man, making sure to adjust the head's center point to better position it onto the tracker.
Finally, I grouped the head to the walking man and rescaled the man to around the size of the door before then sizing them back up to make it appear as if the man was walking closer towards the camera.
Overall, I think I did well on this small project because the final video looks good, with the head tracking appearing smooth and the final effects fitting well within the scene. If I could improve on this project I would remove the shadows surrounding the feet and better attempt to hide the overlaying watermark on the walking man layer.
