I am filming a rap video, and I am trying to get the graffiti pumping out to the music from a wall whilst the hand held camera is walking backwards. Here is the base footage.

Here is the style I am going for,

and I have another which is not online which does work, but I cannot seem to get a good track/fit on this shot I am trying to do.

I am usinf PFtrack to track footage but also have boujou to play with, I then export a AE camera path (with tagged nulls) and composite in AE.

I also have pictures of all the graffiti front on so that I can cut it out and use it, but getting perspective is hard.

NEED SOME WISDOM!!!!

Speculating only here as I can't afford either of those trackers.

But, Can't you set up a shape that will export from PFtrack that will allow you to determine the perspective in AE?

If I remember cmiVFX had a free tutorial on this.

Try there....
