Am using Autodesk Combustion 2008. But in this version RE Flex Morph is crashing AE plugins every time. But in Combustion 4 i didnt get any kind of problems like this.
I was going to post this in the preproduction forum but I cant access it due to privileges…
I am planning to shoot a on location, an old nazi gun tower. My plan is to shoot most of it by hand or steadycam and basically bring the scene back to life with 3D airplanes, nazi trucks and jeeps, and bombs flying down at the tower whilst its trying to shoot down the airplanes.
Since my only experience is really with compsositing and the 3D aspect, I was wondering if anyone has used this camera before, and also wether anyone can give me some useful tips on things to keep in mind?
I know for example that I need to limit my panning because of rolling shutter (which I believe I can fix with Nuke’s rolling shutter plugin) but are there any other REALLY IMPORTANT aspects that I need to know in order to make the shot work well for 3D tracking and matchmoving?
Oh the camera im using is a sony-hc7 and here’s a link to its info:

Thanks a lot for the help in advance…

When I read “7D stop motion music video” in the description for 2 Minutes I thought it was a video in 7 dimension, just to find out it was actually shot with a Canon 7D; while the video, directed by Maxime Bruneel, is set in the ordinary 10 dimensional space we’re used to…
