Week 1 Lab 2

Resource: http://www.videocopilot.net/tutorial/blood_splatter/

In this tutorial, I learnt how to set a fixed position for the blood splat that is to create a 'null object' and set the tracker. Not only that, I also learn 2 types of masking, the tedious and the easier way. I tried doing both ways so that I understand better about the masking effect.

The first way of masking is to use the masking 'pen' tool and mark the points of the object that I want to overlap. I have to look at the points carefully and see whether the body overlaps the blood, if not, I have to adjust the points and set the key frames.

The second way of masking is by using the 'Roto Brush Tool'. This method is easier as I only need to draw out the outline of the man and the keyframes are already given.

This tutorial is really helpful for me as Im sure I will need it for project or future use. Masking is the basic thing we must know how to do.
