@Aleects none stop. but it was never released :/. my buddy made it and gave it to me

@JNCProductionsXD its similar. but pftrack is a litle better for professional stuff
@thevfxbro is PF Track the same as Boujou?
Seriously! How come ALL videos have at least 1 dislike!?!?!?!?!?!?
Come on just if you cant do it leave and find an easier tutorial
PFTrack is much better then after effects for 3D motion tracking
what would be the windows equivalent on this program? anyone?
@Hyminym I managed to get it, go on the Pixel Farm website and download it via there for free BUT it must be the PLE (Personal Learning Enviroment) and cannot be used for commercial use. But its legit and from the website where you’d purchase it.
okay, i’m confused.. i’m just gonna go to see Rebecca Black..
How much is PFtrack and where do you buy it? I’ve been looking around for it to use in my videos but can’t find it?
This looks sooooooo complicating!My head hurts.
CONFUSED

i use voodoo to track stuff, XD. But i still havent gotten to opening the program
so its not real

@xWhiteoutProductions = ) thanks anyway. let me know if you find a good tut!
@thefrenchtaunter1 also this is snostorm8 but on my new account
@thefrenchtaunter1 i have no idea how to use voodoo, never used it, noone has the budget for boujou either
erm, search for a tut on yt 
they didnt really do it to well but back then i think it was pretty good
I liked the no-legged actor effect
When I saw this movie I thought Gary Sinise didn’t have any legs. It’s not really the effect that are amazing, it’s the timing and the places they choosed to show them that made you believe this dude didn’t have any legs.
I liked that scene with John Lennon it’s cool
thought you would like my visual effects videos.
take care,
zach
@NickJonas990 I know– it kills me every time. I can’t help but get flat depressed every time. so sad
what operating system did they use?
@xaxie1 they put a background in and then match the camera movement to that piece so it moves with the shot

I’m gratuating from a school which is about this type of visual effects. I think it’s to difficult and stressful. And the industry is so competive. I don’t want to work with this, it’s to hard!
I GOT NO LEGS
lol, What I dont understand is what they said about adding in the backgrounds in where gary sinese’s legs are, How did they put in a background to where garys legs are if it is always moving?
Great vids! Thank’s a bungle
lol, you can kinda tell john L is not really in that scene lol
you can see them also in the green mile together.love them:)
“Some years later that nice young man from England was on his way home to see his little boy, and was signing some autographs. For no particular reason at all, somebody shot him.”
favorite quote in the movie.
Haha, the John Lennon part cracked me up XD
I’m gonna watch this movie tomarrow.
X( his role in Of Mice and Men… so sad… DX
WHOA
Im actually looking for someone, wforsche got removed for some reason.
Thanks for posting…this was really entertaining and informative. I added you as a subscription.
If anyone else is interested in old FX, try YouTube screen name wforsche (not me).
Yeah! right… that’s a great film also..
The funny thing about ur comment is that if you watch Forrest Gump.. When Tom says He’s gonna be a shrimp boat captain, Gary says “the day you’re a shrimp boat catpain, thats the day im gonna be an astronaut.” Then a year later the two of them are astronauts together..
Thanx
Ha! Gary Sinise was in Apollo 13 with Tom Hanks a year later…
Great actor!!
