Hasta La Motion!

Hi everyone, i’m working on a 180 nodal pan. It’s proving a lot more difficult than i thought. I understand the reasons *no parallax*… however, i could really use some advice. I’ve spent way too much time playing around with no *perfect* result.

I will upload the clip, (note~ this is highly compressed for purpose of fsize) please look at the shot starting at frame 348. This is the matchmove i’m referring to. In the past I had used matchmover pro for matchmoving but had not used it in such a long time and was suggested to use pftrack because it was newer and *some say* better. And so, I began watching all of the tutorials I could dig up on pftrack. Still, I’m not getting a good matchmove.

After taking a look at my footage, if you could please give me some "helpful" hints at what process I should be doing to get this to solve good.

Another somewhat sad thing is that I do not have any "camera" information from the shoot. BUT, I do have the NAME of the camera, and a website link to the camera info.

and then the second "hopefully" helpful part is that I have many notes on the location, distances and measurements that i took while i was there. I haven’t seen a good way to use this data however in PFtrack. In matchmover it seemed fairl easy to set up some track points and give them distances between them…

Alright so here is my start. I thank you ahead of time for the time and patience to read this. I’m looking forward to everyones input and advice.

Cheers,
Jonathan
