Welcome to part two of the Face Replacement tutorial, I highly recommend viewing Basic Face Replacement if you haven’t done so already, since I will be using a lot of the same techniques and I move though some of the repeat steps a little faster in this tutorial. Hopefully part one got you well on your way to doing your first simple face replacement. In part two I will show you how to track and composite a more advanced moving face, more specifically one that is doing a 180 degree turn.

In part two of this series I will talk about:

• Using Mocha to track and stabilize footage that is changing perspective
• How to composite the elements in After Effects
• Using stock plugins to degrade P2 1080 footage to look VHS like.
• Show After Effects shortcut keys
• How to find out more about the producer, director and the cast

Once again I would like to thank the following people for allowing me to use footage from the Pistol Youth – In My Eyes music video for this tutorial.

Executive Producer: Steve Buchanan More Fancy
Director: Isaac Rentz Isaac Rentz
Cast: Bradley Hanan Carter of Pistol Youth Pistol Youth
