TEST OF FINAL POLLY

The beginning of the CGI title sequence starts with the camera tracking forward into the screen of a Macbook, which disintegrates with the previously-experimented-with-Pixel-Polly-effect to unleash a stream, a tunnel of numbers which the camera flies through, and upon emerging at the other end the GCI 3D world made of computer data inside the mac. 

The effect was achieved by making a picture with a solid Chroma green background with two blue crosses on (to use as track points), and then opening up this picture in full screen on the mac. The camera would track forward on an improvised jib-like movement made by pivoting the camera forwards on a tripod with only one leg, right up to the screen. In AE, I took a screenshot from the previous Pixel Polly effect (humorously relevant to this test) and motion tracked the screen using the track points. I then placed the screenshot above the footage as a still layer, added tiny bulge effect (as my camera shoots everything with a tiny fish eye effect) 

I applied the motion tracked data to the still, to attach it as the 'screen' of the computer, and then added the pixel polly effect and a glow. 

In this test, I didn't place the CGI number tunnel or 'the grid' (what I've named the CGI world full of data because the structure is built by long chains of flickering numbers, giving the impression that the camera is flying through a 3D grid, like digital scafolding) behind the shattering screen because it was not relevant to this test - also this way I could reveal the picture used to motion track the footage, as a little BTS bonus.
