After Effects: Smiley face in the eye motion tracking tutorial Part 1

http://www.dudeinadrama.com
Check out my blog for full details on both parts of this tutorial
I have been looking for some cool eye effects to make in After Effects but they all seemed pretty much the same and I didn't want to just rip one off for a tutorial. Remembering the bad guy form the Last Action Hero movie I was compelled to try make a smiley face in the eye effect!
This is a pretty good exercise in motion tracking and masking too and is a good place tt start if your interested in learning the basics.

If your right eye moves out of sync with your left eye, isnt the rotation data lost? Why not set it to something that can't potentially move freely, like a nostril?
