1. Use front view of architecture facade. Import image to after effect. Choose the digital area of projection. Prepare your architectural texture: cut with mask, colorize, mix.
2. Animate image texture with simple effects in After Effects if you want. Use in and out video transitions. Use Video Mapping Loops as background for your architecture. Blend your animation to the image texture with stencil luma effect. You can also use it direct in Special VJ Software without preparation in After Effects.
