Digital Tattoos Day 7: Mask Tracking

Essential Question: How can I use AfterEffects to edit the video to delete the points I drew on my arm to make it look more realistic?

Mask Tracking

What are other ways we can add realism?\

  • Correct perspective – make sure that your tattoo is being placed onto your arm correctly. This will help your tattoo look like it’s actually on skin vs just floating.
  • Transparency – adding places of transparency in your design will make it look realistic.
  • Opacity – turning down the opacity a little would also help the tattoo look like its on skin
  • Smooth Animation – making sure everything is animated smoothly and there’s no animation that feels unnatural will help your animation feel realistic.

Today we will:

  • Learn how to use mask tracking to hide the dots we drew on our arms. This will help make our tattoo designs seem more realistic.
  • Continue working on our project
  • Create a blog post updating on our progress with our project and answering the following questions:
    • Where are you in working on your project?
    • What are some steps you’re going to take towards completing your project?
    • What are some areas you’re having trouble with? Is there anything you’d want review or any questions you have?
