Camera Mapping

Hey guys Sean Dove here. A little while ago I got sent the opening title sequence for a kids show called Figure It Out and I was asked how could we go about recreate their effect.

This creative piece was made by the team over at BUCK and as someone who loves playing with perspective I was really excited to try this technique. In the clip we see this skewed text projected onto this underground, carpark style, scene - and with a nice camera swing we start to see the text begin to line up before reaching that final sweet spot where it reads seamlessly.

So I thought we'd have a quick look at putting together a scene using simple shapes and then have a play with some camera projections and perspective and see how it turns out!

Special thanks to Oliver Santiago for allowing me to use his artwork to demonstrate this technique - make sure you check out his full series, the whole thing is insane.
