To make the effect look even better, you could take an hdri from your scene and import it into Blender. With this you can emulate the light of your shot, so that both lightings an colors are matching very well.
Yeah, but there's two ways to do it that will result in two different things: 1. One tracker to empty: you only need to have one track visible when you need the skull to be seen, you convert it to an empty and parent the skull to the empty but it only solves the position, you need to manually Animate the rotation and scale of the skull. 2. Camera track: you MUST have at least 8 tracks visible throughout the part when you need to see the skull, and then you don't need to Animate the object moving, the camera does it for you.
this is pretty interesting because although i think you could have made the skull tracking technical problem way easier for you by using other tools, the finished result is really good because of all the other details around like the torned shirt, the make up, the explosion reflected on the door's glass, and the natural light inside the room during the explosion... I think it shows how the tools are NOT the core of the effect but the artistic direction is. Thanks for sharing your process, and thanks for sharing your blender tutorials, i m planning to try and learn soon!
I can relate to you, Steve. I'm also not a 3D animator. I just enjoy editing videos so much. But we all learn something new everyday, don't we? In this case, I've learned something incredible from you. Awesome job. Keep it up, man.
The whole channel is a 10/10 but I am impressed more and more every time by the intelligent way you are explaining everything and justifying why you did what you did. Amazing!
you can easily 3D track your face in aftereffects instead of the hand animation. you still have the footage, try to roto the face alone (garbage mask) and then use the 3d camera tracker on it. this easy you will trick aftereffects and it will create a moving camera and a solid that will stick to your face as a 3d object. then export the scene to blender and just place the skull at the right place and render. another method if you have mocha pro then you can track objects in 3d space and export them
Honestly, I think Steve is one of the best VFX youtubers out there. The attention to the details he has is amazing. I wanna start adding these kind of scenes within my vídeos to make them a little bit more *interesting* , maybe re-create scenes of my favourite movies/TV shows. I learned A LOT from you, Steve. Premiere Pro is great, but very limited for editing these VFX clips. But, After Effects looks so scary and confusing to start using it 😅
I think u could use ae facetool for a better tracking.. And use 3d elements from video pilot directly on after effect.. And make it much easier for yourself.. Or using cinéma 4d.. And just doing a copy of tracking from ae and paste it into cinema 4d..
Wow incredible work. The most I have ever done is make a short video of me as a Jedi who accidentally cuts his own arms off with a light saber. It took countless hours to do for only a 12 sec video. Such a learning curve. I would be too intimidated to try what you did in this video. I just subscribed to you.
Great work!! indeed there were some flaws but you did it with such a short amount of 3d knowledge that i hope there will be more awesome tutorials like this in future when you learn blender properly!
Hey Steve! Nice to meet you! Bro, you ROCK ! I´d like to ask you which camera model do you use to film your shots. And I also would like to ask you if for an artist, a starter, to film some green screen stuff... What models do you recommend? Canon EOS Rebel T6 Nikon D 5500 Sony A6300 Thank you very much! Best, Mauro
Mr. Ramsden, these videos are simply amazing! It made me go and buy Adobe Premiere and After Effects as I already have Photoshop and now I just want to learn how to do the same thing, only I am not as ambitious as you... baby steps! Also, one thing, am I seeing things or in your ending comment at about 11:38 your mouth didn't match what you said for about a second or so? What's that all about? Again, amazing! Cheers.
Glad you are enjoying them! Ah, I think that was an overdub from a take from a previous video as we hadn't had time to shoot a new outro - well done with the eagle eyes haha
this makes me nostalgic for the good old days of youtube.
How???

@@ZenithQuinn YES! Exactly!
@@ZenithQuinn absolute truth.....
Honestly, blender is one of the best 3-D softwares, and its completely free
Sponsored?
Its Free, now what ?
Honestly it's mediocre with a bad UI and it's completely free.
@@3DJapan it's good enough to be used by professional vfx companies
@@3DJapan I will say if you haven't used it recently, then you can't say the UI is bad. The current version is impressive and I'm a C4D user.
Man, I lost two actors doing It my way. I'll try your way next time.
No It not real at all
Oh my god I laughed so hard

Hol up
To make the effect look even better, you could take an hdri from your scene and import it into Blender. With this you can emulate the light of your shot, so that both lightings an colors are matching very well.
Ironically you could have used the markers on your face to do a perfect object-track in Blender for the skull.
Probably would take more time. I love Blender but its motion tracking is crappy.
Yeah, but there's two ways to do it that will result in two different things:
1. One tracker to empty: you only need to have one track visible when you need the skull to be seen, you convert it to an empty and parent the skull to the empty but it only solves the position, you need to manually Animate the rotation and scale of the skull.

@@vuxanov nope, you just need to know how to use it correctly, watch CGmatter's videos about it
@@vuxanov No i watch guy doing it in no time CG matter (he uses 3d part software to create tracking script ) and then add it to Blender .
vuxanov it’s motion tracking is easy for me?
I really appreciate the effort that went into not only creating the skull effect, but developing this comprehensive tutorial. Great work!

Great point, yes I used the shirt in particular to help sell the missing face, as i didn't know how well it would work at all. Glad you enjoyed it!

very nice job should learn blenders tracker it's very powerful #keepfilming you got a new SUB
You did very well. The only thing that really gives it away is the lighting of the scull and the track glitch when falling down.
Awesome Man !!!!
Actually your learner and i love how you experiments many things to do some work and inspire us
O MY GOD how hard work you have done for creating a video!!!
great video!
no words lot of passion u have got ...kudos
Lots of fun to watch! Thanks for the tutorial. I love how you don't waste anytime explaining the whole process. Well done!
This one was incredible! Congratulations for your beautiful content
Ambitious effect and very well done!

Blender has camera tracking,vfx,video editing too
Well done!! Keep working like that and making this tipe of videos. Thanks!!!
Could also do a partial robot face like terminator or something.

nice video thank you! my holy trinity I use is after effects, blender and unreal engine! Blender opens up so much more possibilities for VFX
Am going to try it man
The passion and energy you're putting into the tutorial is just great, keep up the wonderful work and thanks for sharing your experiments!
Absolutly amazing ! I need to give it a try !
My God!!!! I'm from Brazil and your content is really what I like to make with the tools... I hope some day I have this good ability that you have
You are doing really great job ....and you are so humble .....love it .. keep up ur hardwork
For never using blender before, you did an amazing job!
(coming from a VFX artist that works in blender every day)
That’s amazing! Love to see how you approach these problems. Amazing work
Mate you’re so good at this stuff
Very kind
@Steve Ramsden - Unexplored Films no problem
When you're trying to match motion like with the skull to your face in blender, more movement makes it easier!
this is awesome.. Do more of these..
You have a great future ahead of you! Very good work Bro!
Firebending. Specifically, that "Firelord Ozai comet roar", final battle
Great work!! indeed there were some flaws but you did it with such a short amount of 3d knowledge that i hope there will be more awesome tutorials like this in future when you learn blender properly!
Many thanks, yes I was totally new to it hence I did most of this in AE!
Your tutorials are magnificent! Please do more.

Great work sir,
We could see the hard work in making these ❤️
The way you explain is simply 🔥🔥
Hey Steve! Nice to meet you! Bro, you ROCK !

Best tutorial ever
This is awesome mate
This was absolutely satisfyin and also informative great work buddy👍👍👍
Could you do the Captain Barbossa Scene you mentioned in the start? I honestly love your work and take a lot of notes from you. Thank you!
Incredible! Fantastic
LOVE your channel
You're amazing! I recently discovered your channel and wow, you deserve more subscribers, greetings from México
Many thanks, welcome!
You are fantastic MAN
Great work man 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
that was a nice video it definitely helped out, thankyou so much and you just earned a sub
I just kept thinking of video copilot's Element 3D, an after effects plugin to use 3D models and can attach to layers.
WOW! new suscriber ! what an awesome work!
Amazing work bro
You are awesome! I really enjoyed this tutorial😀
Glad it was helpful!
If you really want to match the lighting, take a hdri of the environment you shot in on the day and use that as an environment texture in blender
Pretty good, blender has tracking tools and rotoscoping, which probably could have helped sync things easier but still really good

Really liked this one! Keep it up my man
That looked amazing! Thank you so much for the tutorial
Really like the staff u doing..
Its dope..
Thanks for sharing this cool effect 😊
So great job. Well done.
Great work man, can you make a scene for your normal head on a small body scene plz thx
This was good, and seeing the skull part is making me curious on how to sample the skeleton body movement in "Michael Jackson's Ghosts" short film
you are my hero Great job bro.
