Animating and Tracking Traffic Light Effects

Sup? Let's break down how I animate this traffic light. First,

I import my animated character and place under pattern layer. Using track mat, I make sure the

pattern only affects the character. Now, to light it up green, I use a green fill

effect, duplicate the layer, turn it white, and add a simple choker with a little

blur to it. After all that, it's ready to be placed on an empty traffic light.

A few effects can help blend it properly into the scene. I repeat the same process for the

red light, and then start tracking everything to the footage. Since the video

is a bit jittery, I had to fix tracking manually, and add some mask for the cars passing
