[CosmosDarwin]

@Developersoftware01 hey, I'll gladly answer any questions you have regarding my videos, but I do try to avoid sending project files out... it's not that I don't trust the internet community, but I like to be diligent in my creative security. Let me know if you have any questions, though, and like I said, I'll be more than happy to answer them.

bro how'd you key the sky for that spaceport composite?

[CosmosDarwin]

@xllr8 actually, I got quite lucky; because of the strict contrast, the dark outlines of the objects passing in the foreground are nearly pure black. As a result, by setting composited craft's blending mode to 'darken', I was able to make it appears to pass behind the objects in the foreground without actually keying anything.

Good job. I like your project. Btw, what song is that? i like it :D

[Arunictrichloride]

KEEP IN MIND. ALWAYS SHOW THE EFFECTS FIRST AND THEN THE BREAKDOWNS

[nelaqua]

How do you bring 3d objects into after effects or do you use a 3d program? I use 3d invigorator to open 3d files

[butterflywings983]

How did you out those two guys from the green screen to that place?

[CosmosDarwin]

@ds5432 I used motion tracking on one corner, and then manually calibrated the mesh warp for the other three corners, it took a couple hours but it wasn't too bad.
