masking with in after effcts

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

storyboarding time

I began storybaording potentials ideas


I first came up with the idea of the having a bus being chases but I didn't complete the stroyboard cause its seem impossible to film.



The second idea I came up with was having a plane falling from the sky wit everyone on it panicking. also I had a little bird being chased by the plane and then getting sucked up in to one of the engine of the plane. Then coms out the other end as a bucket of KFC





I had another idea where you have a man on a unicycles  trying to carry a number on different idea whilst on a tightrope.




I then had the idea of having a man who begins with a man reading a new paper. to then receiving  a telephone call from his wife demanding him to get the shopping in. so he fanatically drive down to the shop and gets the shopping. After completing the shopping he return the trolly however he manages to fall in to the trolly and and slide down a hill very fast dodging difference obstacles.

i feel that this has some potential I will  further develop it.





I feel this idea had some potentials  and so i wanted to move forward with it

I found this very interested and it help me to inform my work
