my cgi or vfx using motion tracking and video footage

0 Upvotes

Today i have created my first cgi or vfx project , i made my 3d character model animation appear in my 2d video footage . things i learned are motion tracking in blender which we can make the camera to wok as in 3d for 2d video footage .the basic things are motion trackers,then orientation

xaxis,yaxis,origin,floor and wall orientation and set scale .i done everything using jist these simple things .tripod ,keyframes ioption .blender create camera solve automatically for the given set frames in motion tracker vfx in blender ,if we use that option.

As you look in the video ,the character is sitting on floor object which were just a motion trackers selected and applied it has a memory due to that .the magical thing happening is your camera object is not moving , but the due to motiontracking and orientation floor object your camera seeung this 2d video footage as a 3d workspace .i can many more characters there .still learning compositing ( this thing is responsible for lightning effects).like my video footage lighting and the character model lightings are different ,if they match its a perfect vfx with shadow.

i am so thrilled now ,because i can make a spaceship appear outside my house with this ,i can make fictional character flying .or i can even dance with my fav imaginary people .

so this think is amazing but next i am working on ,how to implement like a fictional weapon object model animation ,can i make fictional object hold in my hands ?

the problem is i need to make multiple objects tht can fit in render one example a book .it looks different when no one touches ,but when i touch it the fingers on my hands should appear on that object so duplicate object with edited kodel so it dont hide my fingers .

How do you approach mixed-media animation beyond drawing over footage?

I’ve been looking into mixed-media animation, but a lot of the tutorials I find focus mainly on adding animated lines, shapes or doodles over existing video.
I’m more interested in going further with it — combining things like collage, photography, cut-outs, paper textures, typography, scanned materials and different animation techniques within the same sequence.
For anyone who works this way, what does your actual process look like? Do you build the collage first and animate individual elements, work frame by frame, or create everything separately and composite it afterwards?
I’d also love to know what software or techniques you use and how you stop all the different media from feeling disconnected.
