DESCRIPTION
If you work in archviz like I do, you often need an aerial animation of a construction project in full context, but building all that context in 3d can be time consuming and expensive. In recent years, with the explosion of drone technology, getting the context has become easier. Of course, you have to invest in expensive drone technology, possibly get a commercial drone pilot license, and learn complex camera tracking techniques. Now, there might be yet another option...Google Earth Studio.

Google Earth Studio can't cut out the artistic and technical elements of meshing 3d models and video footage together, but it can provide good footage to start with. The most intriguing part is that it can do this for basically any spot in the world, and you never have to leave your desk. Of course, this has been available for a long time with Google Earth, however, with Studio, we now have full control over the animations using familiar 3d animation techniques. We can also create camera tracking information directly within Studio, and export it to After Effects. I find the animation tools incredibly useful and intuitive, and the resulting footage to be very usable.

In this tutorial, I show you the workflow and go over the essential tools, so that you can be up and running right away with Google Earth Studio. I'll even touch a little bit on how to use the camera tracking so you can add 3d elements to your flyover animations.
