An old abandoned radiostation. Located in the middle of nowhere.

The place was quite intruiging, theres was noone around, just a lot of nature and a few abandoned buildings. All the buildings were locked.

The weather was great, too, and we happened to have a cheap handycam with us.

    I love this kind of compositing :) It is amazing!
    The radiostation looks great - only pity that it was locked...

    Can I have a question? Were the strokes done in 3D or in 2.5D?
  • Druskq 2 months ago
    Cheers for the comment =)

    Well, I guess it's 3D, the lines were actually done in After Effects, using paricular, linked to a light emitter. That light was moved through AE's 3D space.

    The footage was tracked using Matchmoving software (Boujou in this case) first, to rebuild the 2D-footage to a 3D scene beforehand. Amazing software, but quite hard to use on shaky and lowQuality footage like this.

    Any more questions, ask away =)
  • Moonseeker115 2 months ago
    Thanks for answering :)
    One more question :)

    How does Boujou rebuild 2D footage on 3D? Does it cut the footage into multiple layers?
  • Druskq 2 months ago
    Anytime ^^

    Boujou (and any other Matchmoving app) actually rebuilds the 3d scene literally, so you could use any 3d app to composit objects into the scene, competely matching the camera movement and depth of the scene.

    For example, points closer to the camera move faster, relatively to points further away. Based on this difference in speed, the program will be able to derive the relative distance. In the end, you'll end up with a scene full of tracked points (or Nulls) and you'll be able to use these as reference of where you're placing your CG-elements.
    It uses a whole lot more of complex mathematical calculations, visit wikipedia and search on "Matchmoving" for more in depth info ^^

    Hope this helps!
  • Moonseeker115 2 months ago
    Wow :) Thank you once again for explaining this. It sounds really interesting :)

    Wow, So the Boujou matches the camera movements, but how did you get the spark to go "around" the trees.
    awesome

    I really like this, good job on the effects you've added. What was the music playing during the video?

    And it's pretty weird that a whole radio station could be abandoned. I only wish it would happen to Real Radio in the UK.

    Kudos, the visuals and editing are really top notch. You took inanimate locations and made them intriguing via the "stroke lines". Although somewhat reminiscent of Sprint commercials airing these days, I really like the eccentric, transcendental vibe you got going on in here. Also like the blue mask around the corners of the frame.

    Fantastic! Was it very time-consuming?
  • Druskq 1 month ago
    It was, especially the matchmoving part. The project was very experimental but we've learned alot :D

    Took us about a month to complete.

    Hee, I've been there too! Just a few weeks ago...
    But I was allowed to go into the building to :D
    Very beautiful place.

    Did you know that "Mindhunters" was recorded there?

    Hey Martijn, hoe kwam je binnen dan? Ik woon er ong. 12km vandaan.. en wil er wel eens gaan kijken. :)

    Wow, nice work! I never realised After Effects was capable of anything like that. You obviously know your tools.

    Love the audio as well, and the glitches.

    Just got my hands on some tracking software(Matchmover by Realviz). Thank you for showing me the amazing possibilities these programs allow. Beautiful.

    Very, VERY good work! I love the seamlessness. I'm a huge fan of work like this done with everyday cheap shaky cam footage.

    There's an art to this, making top notch compositions like that using footage shot on older low end gear.

    Two questions.
    One) Do you mean bonjour?
    With an R at the end? I can't find the software anywhere.
    two) What was that song? I really liked it.

    "Mindhunters" was filmed entirely in The Netherlands. The locations in the Netherlands included Amsterdam-Noord, The Hague, Amsterdam, Delft, Radio Kootwijk, Veluwe, Gelderland, and Zandvoort.

    This place is called RADIO KOOTWIJK, and I happen to live only about 8 miles away from it :) (~13km). (For people who live here: it's very close to Apeldoorn.) To be honest.. I've never been there, but after seeing this I certainly will!!
