For this shot i needed to create the visual effect of a ball being thrown then stopping in mid air infront of the characters face and floating there for a second. I needed first to find an image of a tennis ball. After this i cut it out and made it into a vector in photoshop. Then i imported it into after effects and put it on top of the clip. Then i resized the ball using the Effects>Transform>scale and reduced the size till it was right. Then i had to position it by using the transform tool. I positioned it first in the character who was throwings hand. After this i used effects>colour correction and changed a number of factors to make it the most realistic colour so it matched the ball we used in the clips before. Then i added motion blur becuause it still looked too unrealistic because of the detailing on the ball. The camera moves from right to left so i didn't need to adjust the motion of the ball. I just had to add in some rotation key frames to make it look like the ball was spinning.
