Discussion from Cineversity V1:
How does one create a reflection of the movie placed on the movie wall onto the floor? Due to the 5° rotation of the video wall, I ran into problems getting a video to reflect in the proper perspective within AE. I suppose I could duplicate and mirror the video wall within C4D and render out a buffer for that, but I don’t think that will solve the angle/position problem I experience in AE. Any thoughts on this would be appreciated.
Answer from instructor:
Reflections are hard in After Effects; they have to be faked. There are number of tutorials out there on how to fake them (including in our Creating Motion Graphics book, and in this free PDF tutorial: http://www.artbeats.com/assets/written_tutorials/pdfs/faux_reflections.pdf). Perhaps the best solution for serious 3D scenes is to use Zaxwerks Reflector - it means setting up some additional surfaces (made easier with C4D’s compositing tags), but it would be the most robust and realistic.
