Create a MoGraph Urban Jungle – Day 2

Final Product What You'll Be Creating

In day 2, Naim show us how to setup the vector graphics in Illustrator then track the man on the phone in Mocha AE. Finally, to wrap things up we jump back into After Effects to finalize the composite.

Naim explains:

Today we will continue animating the floral elements, and position the elements into the 3D scene. We will use the camera data to achieve easy track mattes, only needing a small amount of keyframes. We will spend some time focusing on a roto workflow, learning the do’s and don’ts of all things roto, the roto application of choice will be Mocha (it’s free with CS4). Finally the mattes will be applied to specific layer concluding in a beautiful live action/motion graphics scene.

    Naim, I loved your tutorial!

    One thing I wanted to clarify for those folks who are desperately searching for a way to export rotto shapes or mattes from Mocha for AE that came with CS4…. there is no way to do that! After some internet research, I found that actually users must upgrade to the v2 version of Mocha for AE ($100) in order to get the export render option.

    Of course, the full version of Mocha has this.

    Just thought this may save a few people some time and frustration.

    how can i found this video of original?

    Great, thorough tutorial Naim. One complaint; the audio seems to get about 10 seconds ahead of the video in part 2, and it’s really hard to follow when I’m hearing about what you’re doing but watching what you were talking about 10 seconds ago.
    Can you see if you can fix that?
    otherwise, great job.
