Final Product What You'll Be Creating

In this tutorial we will track freeze frames into a hand-held scene utilizing The Foundry’s CameraTracker to achieve an effect that is often referred to as “StroMotion”. We’ll be talking about different methods of how to remove the subject from the background and how to line everything up. Enjoy! :)

    what about the shadows on the ground they must be still because the are still in air

    • Haitm

      I mean that the moving skater has shadow but the still skater has no still shadow

        If you want the same result, use the same technique ;-) (masking + making 3D layer + positioning)

      Would I use this effect if I would to get a slight Shadow move…kinda like a echo?

  • Jake

    I need some help. Whenever I rotobrush, the roto doesn’t seem to last. Basically, the mask only lasts for a few frames, then it jumps back to the unmasked freeze frame. What’s going on?
