Metronomy: The Look
Posted in: Animation, Design, directing, music videoWhile we’re on the subject of minimalism and directors, Lorenzo Fonda just busted out this sweet little piece of minimalistic awesomeness for Metronomy’s new single “The Look.” The stop motion is really great, and plays as a nice little story juxtapozed with the footage of the band.

mirrored stereo camerasolve
Posted in: Matchmoving SoftwareHi everyone,
I am currently working on a few stereoscopic shots in PFTrack and I am
having a strange problem which I cant figure out. When I solve the steresocopic Camera it gives me a weird pointcloud, like its mirrored or something.
But when I activate "separate stereo solve" it give me a good pointcloud. In my opinion solving for both cameras should actually give better results than solving twice… Has anyone faced that problem yet ?

Write settings in 6.2
Posted in: NUKE from The FoundryDid something change in quicktime settings in 6.2? I used to have knob defaults setting compression, fps and some other minor things which worked like a charm in 6.0 and 6.1 but suddenly it stopped after 6.2 upgrade.
The settings were
Code:
nuke.knobDefault('Write.file_type', 'mov')
nuke.knobDefault('Write.colorspace', 'sRGB')
nuke.knobDefault('Write.codec', 'raw ')
nuke.knobDefault('Write.Flatten', '0')
nuke.knobDefault('Write.fps', '25')
Does anyone know what happend there?
Who's in charge here?
