Tech-Head Update: MeMoreTV Clubhouse Expo - #MeCon (Patreon)

We're working on the MeMoreTV Clubhouse Expo video and thought I'd give the fellow tech heads some tech details on how it's working. 

This is a 20+ minute composition, and I'm finishing it almost entirely in after effects... Uh, yeah, that's a lot of keyframes! 

I usually don't do 3D comps in AE, but this epic and totally groundbreaking project called for it.

Starting with Doug's puppet performance and our great Host's performance, they're exported individually on alpha and brought into AE.

In the images attached to this post, you can see the advantages of doing this in 3D. 

I can move "Me" behind or in front of the host like an object rather than a 2D layer. Then I can control the camera and do things like pictured:
"Me" zips behind the host, then the camera zooms in. The camera aperture is then keyframed to cheat a real shallow depth of field on the Host, so pixilation is a little less obvious.

We're planning on publishing this at about the date of our first live stream, April 30th.
