Editing Brighton Scenes

Once we had finished filming in Brighton I had to go to work so the next day we was both free all day so I made my way too Andrews house to edit what we had together. Andrew had his laptop connected with his computer monitor this proved handy as the screen was extra big and we could see what was happening better. The first thing we did was track the phone in my hand using adobe mocha, I had never used this software before but it was amazing too see how it worked and the fact it's so easy to get the tracking on point as it zooms in to to the pixels.

Once the tracking of the phone was on point we then added the app which was created in after effects on to the phone it, I couldn't be more pleased with how it came out. We then got onto adding the video I shot on my iPhone in to the avatar circle, Andrew originally wanted a picture of me to place in the circle to show I was changing it but I suggested it could be a better idea to have a default picture because it's an image that is known world wide and is more clear that someone is changing their picture. Adding this and watching it back it worked really well. 

We then saved this out and created a new comp on after effects and added it to the rest of the video. then staying in after effects we imported the coffee shop scene, this only took a few minutes because we didn't have to track anything using mocha. We just had to make sure the timings were okay because we used two different camera angles we wanted to make sure it ran smoothly and was a seamless cut.
