"Children of Men" Car HUD Visual Effect Concept

Having fun with After Effects and teaching myself to use the program by accomplishing interesting effects from scratch. I began by making a HUD similar to the concept seen in the car chase scene in Children of Men. I sort of wish my car really looked like this.

Wow, I'd really like to know how to do this.

[Schizmo]

@sonicclang Its just motion tracking and layers, nothing too complicated.

[sonicclang]

@Schizmo So is there an automated way of doing the motion tracking, or do you have to do it entirely manually?

[Schizmo]

@sonicclang Motion tracking is an automated process, but there are a few instances where you have to tweak the result you get. If you want to learn more about after effects try websites like videocopilot . net

Hi Schizmo, I was looking to see if you ever got round to making a video using the Krasnogosk-3, you don´t have it up on youtube.. I was wondering if you do have any footage? If you did get to use the camera do you have any suggestions on working with it? Thanks.
