In this tutorial we continue exploring how to create some high-end techniques easily by using scripts to facilitate our workflow. Mathias Mohl teaches us how to track moving video to a postcard that was shot handheld with help from some scripts that he authored and are feely available. He also shows how to recover highlights from the tracked footage and apply them back over the moving video for a very convincing effect.

I might be missing something here but what is used for the actual postcards? Just black pieces of card? Great tutorial just one problem, I like to follow along with the tutorial as it plays through but it’s difficult as the lower res version makes it difficult to see and when in full screen I have to keep ‘escaping’ to get back to AE as expose doesn’t allow me to keep the full screen open, hmmm, keep up the good work;)

@Ty: Yes, I just used some black paper and some transparent adhesive foil to make it more glossy. I think any glossy black surface should work.
