This is a corporate video that I animated in collaboration with Legion Media. Legion provided the direction and video assets, while I created the animations, and composited and motion tracked the footage!

By the way, there are two things that I learned on this project:

1.) RED footage is awesome for matchmoving. The clarity is outstanding!
2.) PFHoe is an amazing piece of software. Stable tracks have never been so quick and painless.

Keep checking back, we have more exciting things in the works!
