Final Product What You'll Be Creating

In this tutorial we are going to take a look at a simple, but interesting idea. The main point will be to show you how to work with footage that is out of focus making if difficult to track. After we track it we are going to attach the camera interface elements and fake some depth of field to create the illusion that they are floating in space and shift in and out of focus like the rest of the scene.

    cool final product video, but I found 1 thing you could improve on… you filmed a mirror so you could see the camera (nice way to do it if you only have 1 camera!) but since it’s a mirror your footage is backwards, (look at the canon logo on the camera) you could fix that by flipping the footage over in AE.
    other than that it was a really neat effect!
