/>


My tutorial deals with a VFX shot that’s easy to attempt but hard to master: A convincing looking sniper scope view.

I will outline the assets that I provide in Photoshop and the principles of accomplishing the intended outcome. In After Effects I’ll make use of pre-compositions, motion tracking and some easy expressions. For clarity’s purpose I’ll get into details about optical phenomena when necessary.

Additionally I mention and highlight keyboard shortcuts I use to speed up the work, so this tutorial is not intended for absolute beginners who still struggle with the interface but for users already somewhat familiar with getting around, although I mention every step clearly and make it easy to follow.

Requirements are:

After Effects CS3

And for custom made assets, additionally:

Photoshop or Illustrator

A photo camera

A small video camera
