Curious Turtle Master mocha Vol 1 Production Effects with mocha Pro After Effects

Creating set extensions is a core VFX skill to have. Creating the perfect matte painting is only half the job when you have to deal with shaky camera movement. This exercise is about getting our core shot correct before moving to the main effect; adding a set extension and removing unwanted parts of the screen with rig removal.

We explore the Stabilize module and different methods to fill in the missing data. An in-depth look at AutoFill within mocha Pro will give us a perfectly smooth camera move without compromising on quality. The water and foreground elements in the shot makes this a tricky task.

After a trip to Photoshop to create our matte painting, we are left with the job of getting it fitting and looking natural in with our footage. A single tracked shape in mocha can give us many different types of the tracking data. We use them all and show when you should favor one type for a particular task. Importantly, you also see what can happen if you use the wrong type of data.
