(Rough) Attempt #1 for Sky Replacement/Motion Tracking/ Set Extension

Critiques or suggestions? Any input is appreciated! I'd like to add these effects to my "Can-Do" list, but my first try took a lot of work and still came out a little funky. I just got my hands on Photoshop CS4, so I'm a newbie in that department.

Effects done in Adobe After Effects CS4, Editing in Final Cut Express, and sound excerpts from iMovie '08.

Eer, not sure, sorry! It was one of the built-in audio tracks from the old iMovie though :)

not bad my friend, that's quite good really for the amount of movement involved. Unfortunately it doesn't get much better without tracking programs. I'd recommend less movement when you're making movies, tracking is easier. Of course if your purpose was to have lot's of movement then you did very well. The only thing I could recommend would be soften edges or you could also cut out the building and put it as a seperate layer then move the trees behind it a little.

Thanks! I'm thinking I might try this again at some point and I'll definitely get some usage out of your idea! haha yeah, when I put the raw footage on the computer and saw how I had recorded the scene.... "Whoops!" Thanks again for your recommendations - I'm ganna go look into a tracking program :)

@deathman113 Haha... Just looking through videos and learning myself...but happen to see your question and may be able to help you out.) I think it's entitled "Half Moon Bay - Long"...I happen to hear it while going through the Garage Band - Sound Effects. Hope this helps....maybe check iTunes Podcast to see if it's available.
