Hasta La Motion!

I’ve tried constraints, solving in sections, manual tracking and abusing my computer and none of it seems to be giving me a decent solution. Basically the camera drops down and then rises again.

The footage is attached, if people could have a look at it or even have a crack at it would be much appreciated. (The premise of the story is that time has stopped (minus the main characters) and I need to place chess pieces in the air as the table had been flipped when time stopped.)

Ps- I’m using PFTrack.

J_MergeHDR is a node to build high dynamic range radiance maps from a series of low dynamic range stills. Check out the intro vid below for more info:

You can grab the builds from the links off the blog at:

Hope you find ’em useful! 🙂

From what I can see they are not using any ZMerge node and he is talking about "cutting it out with the z-channel" (2:25 in the video).

I know the video is low-res and there is a higher-res one at fxguidetv but not so high that you can figure out what nodes he’s using and he never shows any settings of the nodes.

I know a lot about integrating Nukes 3D-system with renders and position-passes and I got it working with the standard ZMerge and I know how to cut out stuff with the z-channel.

I just want to know if someone knows if ILM are using any special tricks in that setup to deal with aliasing and mblur issues and they seem to have a nice color bleed around the explosions also.

Thanks!
