Mixing animated characters on top of real footage can lead to some entertaining creative possibilities. I used this technique in a recent music video called Extraneous Lyrics -    • Extraneous Lyrics 2019  . In this tutorial, we'll cover how to set up a walking, talking, guitar playing animated character in Character Animator using techniques like slow-motion recording and hand position swap sets. Then we'll show how to link the performance to Premiere Pro or After Effects, using color correction, shadows, and motion tracking to connect the character to real footage in convincing ways.
