best matchmove techniques for green screen productionHey, i have just joined this forum minutes back. Being a filmmaking student i have a new upcoming project where recreaction of history has to be done. So it will include green screen production.Can i get suggestions on what kind of post-production teqniques are best to match the camera movements.I am confused between the strength and ease of use between shake, the pixel farm, nuke and imagineer. I work on an intel imac. Any suggestion will be of great help. Thanks |

You need Shake and PFTrack (and maybe a 3d software).
when you film you will have to bring markers on green screen. Then load your sequence in PFTrack and track it. You can then export that to shake and/or to your 3d application. Get the Shake 3D DVD from this site, it's clearly explained. |

more infoSome will use ORANGE tape instead of Green.This is not terribly important, but when roto time comes to remove the X marks when they intersect other obects.. Its best to have a color with a value in the middle. by value, i mean if i turned both the orange and green to greyscale... they would be only slighty different. Black is better to track... but make an X with the tape for the markers and put a black sharpie marker point in the center of the X. although, im not sure if there is another marker method for using: http://www.reflecmedia.com/content.aspx?Content=chromatte.htm# not sure if it gets destroyed by tape marks. -c |
