Here's how we created a full 3D set extension / virtual environment for a character filmed in front of a green screen, with some help from our friends at Production Crate and using Adobe After Effects!

This is a bit like our previous experiments with matte paintings, but this time we take it to the third dimension and add a moving subject. We filmed a character walking on a treadmill in front of a green screen, removed the green with Keylight and then composited in lots of ProductionCrate's amazing hi-res set extension scenery behind. We then arranged these in After Effects on the Z axis in 3D space and created an artificial camera to move thorough the scenery. This gives the impression that the camera is moving backwards with the walking figure.

I have a degree in visual effects and motion graphics, but never really was able to get set extensions and the like down, I did a lot of compositing. 3d just scared me too much, but you've explained it so well in 10 minutes! I may have to give this a proper go!

Your giving filmmaking knowledge absolutely free, someone can get a job at editing just by learning from you.

So cool, can't wait to do something along these lines, thank you so much, great tutorial!

Now that was pretty cool. One thing I would recommend to make the shot look even less like pictures is give a slight movement to the hanging wires above the character as he is walking. Idk how you would do that but it would be cool and add a little something. Great video!
