i track the shot within a progrma called pftrack that i bort only
after motion tracking the footage i had to line up the grid that will be used in maya later on the the vanasioning point of the video. this allowed me to put the model on my on the mark when i put in in to maya
Shadows
For shadows i used after effects by flip the render tiff sequences upside down
frist i tried to create a mask in the program called moca winch come pre-installed with maya.
how I was having problems with the program due to that take with moca for adobe cs4 its don't allow you to import the masks u make only to coronets of the spaces. which was very hard to
I then started with a different approach by make a a photoshop layer of the rails of the bridge.
I start using the magic wond tool howevery its give much of a clean up of the raill as i wanted
Once i made the plains i then put them in to adobe after effects and then animated moom in the trolly roughly in perceptive of the trolly. I then motion track the rails with in after effects and then parented the motion to the masks i made early
Frist tried to made a 3d outline of the bridge so that when i animated it it would look in line with the live action footage
but sadly this when horrible wrong so i had to work the perceptive all out by eye
