The purpose of this task was to create a modern and stylish way to overlay handwritten, whiteboard-style text from e-learning lectures onto the top of a "green screen" video. I was given the raw video file and was asked to remove the background from the video and replace it with an appropriate colour or image, as well as represent the content written on a whiteboard by another member of the production crew (in real time) on the screen.
In order to achieve this, I developed a system to allow the client to input the top-down video of their whiteboard. The application I created then analyses the video content and converts the physical pen lines into vector art. This animated vector art is then overlayed on top of the lecturer speaking to the camera, with the background keyed as a futuristic white.
For this job, the software application developed (as a standalone tool and as a plugin for Adobe After Effects) was provided to the client.
As the final product that this job pertains to has not yet been released or announced; I am not able to disclose the name of the business.
