Cow Update: Analyzing Motion

In this tutorial, I show you how to use offset tracking to analyze the motion of an object over time. This effect, known as stromotion, was popularized by NBC during the 2008 Beijing Olympics. Check it out.

EDIT: You can use any footage with a moving subject to practice on your own. Unfortunately, I can’t provide this specific clip per my agreement with Creative Cow *until* the podcast DVD comes out at the end of the season…at which point, I’m sure you’ll want to buy the DVD. Until then you could practice on this.

    Wonderful tutorial, love the color! I was wondering where I can find that footage to practice.

    Thanks!
