Thank you, Andrew Price. I did this as an introduction to camera tracking, maybe not the best job ever but I’m pretty pleased. I know the inner texture could’ve been improved, I forgot to add the rocky texture and since I didn’t realize until the render was done, (took like 2 hours) I just accepted it. Also didn’t add the cracks into the asphalt because the nodes just … weren’t there…? when I opened the compositor, if you’ve got any links on understanding the compositor im ALL EARS. Thanks guys!

Good job ! One question: What Focal Length did you input when reconstructing the Camera motion? I said this because I notice you Zoom Out a bit so focal length changes ! I never Zoom In or Out so I can keep the same focal length but in your video I can see a good tracking even though ! Did you use the minimum?

Great job!  
Your focus is really admirable on these shots…So you have taken these shots on what zoom in level?

Never zoomed in, because then there’s no way of knowing where exactly I’m zoomed in between 18 and 135mm zoomed out 100%.
