Motion Tracking Test 2 - BBC News Corruption

The second of my motion tracking experiments; messing around with a BBC News broadcast. Some of you will recognise what's being laid over onto the track, that is, the Laughing Man's logo from Ghost in the Shell (who similarly hacks into video and people's eyes to censor his face in this fashion). No use of Mocha here, After Effects' tracker is more than capable enough of keeping track of a single point (in this case, Nick Robinson's glasses), rather than the Myst experiment's 4.

I love the way you mimicked the computer generated data and video distortion ! The head of the anchor was not really moving. Did you exaggerate it in order to get a better result with the funny face ?

@soufianDEMOS Cheers: the addition of the image was tracked directly onto wherever his eyes were, so his head definitely was moving, although not that much. Perhaps the track failed somewhere, but it still fits.
