Titles: Adobe After Effects

At first the plan was to fix the titles onto various surfaces in our sequence like the Tv drama Heroes...
Unfortunately, we did not succeed but we came close. We used Adobe After Effects to try and achieve our desired titles but the process of tracking the motion path of the titles in three dimensions was frustrating and very time consuming due to the fact that it was very hard to find suitable tracking points.
We also realised that our idea would be much more achievable if we had still shots – but this may have taken away from our final sequence.

Advice to future groups: It is possible to fix the titles to surfaces, just make sure that you have 2 or 3 perfect areas of high contrast for the computer to track, otherwise it just won’t work.
