Challenges
During shooting, the camera panning created defocus on objects, and in some
cases the camera was too close to the object, both making it very hard for
tracking. For the second scene(cat), the video source I found has a much brighter background than my actual shooting environment, which made it more difficult to composite. For the last scene(window), I was planning to do a sky replacement. However, the movements of the actor created a strong motion blur which made it hard to roto. There were over-exposed in the background which made the situation worse.
Solutions
Most of the problems I have faced could have been prevented if I had more
Experience or be more careful at the pre-production stage. More time was spent to do trial and error. Some of the problems can be solved, such as creating more adjustment layers or spending more time on details, but some are unsolvable, such as the motion blur, which only can be “covered” by video editing.
