Laser guns, CGI Helmet, Clothing modification in After Effects

In this VFX shot, I tested out the idea of adding an animated CGI helmet to live-action footage. Using some old props and a portable green screen, I shot this and set to work creating this shot
VFX involved:
- Chroma key
- Logo removal
- CGI helmet, tracking and animating
- Isolating and animating the colour beading on the body armour
- Illuminating and animating the gun lights
- Adding muzzle flash, laser, reactionary lighting and smoke effects
- Compositing background and camera effects
Thanks to Paul Wright and Kalleheikki Kannisto for help rigging the helmet
