I’m setting up a shot where the actor is being set on fire. The first shot is locked off and starts at his feet so that’s pretty straight forward but later he will be moving around and then walking through a camera move.
It’s most likely going to be tracked in pftrack or syntheyes with the flames being creating in maya and some real flames comped in.
My question is the setup of the tracking markers on the actor.
Where should they be on this body?
should i have a certain amount? color ect
Any advice on camera setup? Its being filmed on a 7D, some of the shots will be over cranked to 60fps.
Any thing any1 can tell me about making sure i can get enough information from the footage would be a great help. I need to make sure as he moves the flames go with his momentum.
A good example would be the final scene in Crank 2
