Hoverboard VFX

With a little bit of tracking, masking and compositing we can take a video of a skateboarder and add a little "Back to the Future" in this Hoverboard VFX Tutorial.

If you guys want to follow along and download the video I used, you can find links in our blog.

This effect is really simple and quite effective, just by removing the Wheels and replacing them with a nice clean section of our video we can get this awesome Hoverboard VFX.

If you are recording this footage yourself, I would suggest adding a couple of Markers on the skateboard. They will certainly help you with the Masking step.

Though if you are not able to add Markers, not to worry!. We will be using the Wheels for our Tracking (we will need to offset the Tracks when the wheels go out of frame).

Then when it comes to the compositing we have a couple of options. We could do it the normal way which will take a little longer or we can use the VFX Nodes Add-on to speed up our workflow. We do cover both methods so it's entirely up to you!.

If you want to check out the VFX nodes you can find them here: https://darkfallblender.blogspot.com/p/blog-page_8.html

I hope you find this tutorial helpful and as always thanks for reading!.
