Week 10

We have working on tracking in after effects, and I am finding this ok to work with, but their still seems to be quite a bit of sliding no matter what I do.  It seems that after effects caused less slipping than Autodesk MatchMover, but I think that it would have been better if I would have done manual tracking.  I was not totally sure of how to use the manual tracking.

Week 9

I have been researching some special effects, and I found a couple things you should check out for next semester.  There is a guy on youtube who does some great things with special effects.  His youtube name is deepfriedectoplasm.  I frequently went to this guy for help during this semester.  Also, there is a website by the name of lesterbanks.com, and it has plenty of maya special effects and after effects tutorials.  But on top of all that, he has just a bunch of great tutorials to work on.
