Compositing using After Effect


I started with modelling and animating the phone screen in Blender. I rendered the background and the front duck separately, because I want to add a shape layer in between to animate the pressed effect.

I then used rotobrush to mask out the hand , and used Mocha to motion track the movement. Following the tutorial I manage to compose the phone animation onto the phone.

I did some colour matching between the background footage and the hand using lumetri colour.  Added some motion blur on the phone footage and the hand footage to make the two look more blend in.

I masked out the window using a shape layer. The shape layer is then used for set matte for the final scene and adding a fade out effect while the screen flickering.
