Hasta La Motion!

Hey guys, I am getting ready to start planning out a demo reel for this year. While I was in school, they paired matchmoving with compositing/ matte paintings.

I understand that they go well together, and I have a healthy knowledge with Shake…but Shakes dead. I need to get some hands on Nuke training either online or auditing a class.

I really enjoy Matchmoving, I bought a Cannon XL2 and a Syntheyes 2007 License shortly before graduating. But I have one question….

Would it be foolish to just focus on Matchmoving in a Demo Reel?

Also… right after I bought that XL2 alot of consumer / pro-sumer HD cameras came out. Should I just break down and shoot with one of those? Or is the XL2 still a good camera to be using?
