Creating Futuristic Smartphone Holograms with After Effects

In this tutorial, we will show you how to create a futuristic smartphone hologram using Adobe After Effects. Follow these steps to achieve a high-tech holographic effect.

**Step 1: Record Your Scene**
Record a scene where you are playing a video on your smartphone. Make sure to also have the video file you are playing on your phone.

**Step 2: Mask the Screen**
Start by masking your smartphone screen in After Effects. Ensure that you mask only the screen to capture the illumination correctly.

**Step 3: Track Your Video**
Track your video backwards. Solo the masked layer and pre-compose it. Move all the attributes to the new composition and rename it to "Illumination Screen".

**Step 4: Track Your Camera**
Track your camera in After Effects. In the advanced mode, check the detailed analysis option to make the tracking process more accurate. If possible, place some objects in your scene to serve as tracking points.

**Step 5: Apply Illumination Screen**
Once the tracking and analysis are complete, use your "Illumination Screen" composition to brighten your smartphone screen, enhancing the holographic effect.
