Hello,

after reading in the forums for a while I have registered now. I just left university and made a demo reel for applications as rotoscoping artist/junior compositor. Any comments and critics are very welcome, although I have already sent it to some companies. Thank you!

object tracking rotating objects

How are you guys dealing with tracking objects that have a lot of rotation? Most of the tracking points I would use to help the solver see that there’s rotation, get obscured through the shot. Is there a way to only track a point half way and still be able to translate it over to a mesh?

I’m using Syntheyes.

Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland

[NEWS=”http://www.cgnews.com/wp-content/uploads/aiw_alice_thumb.jpg”]21339[/NEWS]There is a place, like no place on earth. A land full of wonder, mystery and danger. Some say to survive it you need to be as mad as a hatter …..Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland is the highly anticipated fantasy adventure due for release in March 2010. The film is an adaptation of the much loved Lewis Carroll novels ‘Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland’ and ‘Through the Looking-Glass and What Alice Found There’. This new movie adaptation begins with Alice, now a beautiful young woman, in the middle of a grand Victorian party, where she unexpectedly discovers she is about to be proposed to in front of hundreds of people.

Alice runs away from the party in pursuit of a white rabbit that suddenly disappears into a hole at the bottom of a tree trunk. Following the rabbit Alice finds herself in Wonderland, a land she visited 10 years before but of which she has no memory.

Wonderland, once a peaceful kingdom, is in turmoil since the Red Queen overthrew her sister, the White Queen. The inhabitants of Wonderland, that include Alice’s childhood friends the Cheshire Cat, Tweedledee and Tweedledum and the March Hare, are ready to revolt and await Alice to help them. Alice finds herself embarking on a fantastical journey to find her true destiny and end the Red Queen’s reign of terror.

Tim Burton brings his renowned Burton-esque ghoulishness to the films style and character creations; and has cast some of his favourite actors within the leading roles. Burton’s wife, Helena Bonham Carter, plays the Red Queen, apparently based on a combination of Lewis Carroll’s Red Queen (Looking-Glass) and Queen of Hearts (Wonderland). Carter’s character is quick to decree the death sentence for the slightest offense, and is notorious for her condemning cry “Off with his head”.

A slightly disturbing Mad Hatter is portrayed by Johnny Depp, in his seventh film collaboration with Burton. Tim Burton has stated that Depp brought a new depth to the role “I think he tried to bring something, an underlying human quality to the craziness”.

The film uses a technique combining live action and motion capture technology and is set to be released in Disney Digital 3-D and IMAX 3-D, as well as 2-D. Burton and producer Richard D. Zanuck chose to film with conventional cameras, converting footage into 3D afterwards feeling that 3D cameras were too expensive and “clumsy” to use.

RAVED OUT SOWETO FASHION SLUMS.

smarteez-by-chris-saunderssmall

Our buddies at Live From the Coast tipped us off to Johannesburg photographer Chris Saunders the other day and we decided to keep the chain mail going by giving it a REEEEEEEEEEEEEPOST. Check out the beautiful slew of portraiture, documentary photography, and fine art but be sure to give an extra special double check to the spread he did for Colors Magazine on the raved out Soweto fashion slums. We can’t really imagine the soundtrack that matches their streetwears but someone should definitely send it to us.smartiesgallery5
