Matchmoving reel advice

Hi guys,

After asking around I have found out the best way for a 3d guy to get into VFX is through matchmoving…

I’ve got a few books on the subject and been through quite a lot of tutorials so I’m ready to produce my matchmove reel.

I’m going to apply for positions everywhere (cinesite first, as they’re recruiting matchmovers for world war z I think) but I just wanted a little inside info as to what would be something "standout" on a matchmove reel, i.e what would the person viewing it like to see…?

Thanks for your help guys..

Voodoo to Maya

I’ve tracked an image sequence in Voodoo, and saved it as Maya File (.ma) and a .txt file. When I open it in Maya, there is all the green track points. However, I don’t know how you see the image sequence, it seems like only the track points were exported. Does anyone know how you get the image sequence to show in Maya on the 3D grid with the trackpoints?
😀

Tracking an object behind the actor

Hello all,

I looked around for solution to this and I didn’t see one, so if this was asked before,I didn’t see it, sorry.

I need to attach 3D wings to the back of actress, she moves around in the shot quite a bit, and the wings are normally behind her relative to the camera.

Using Syntheyes how would best do this?
My current though was to tape dowel rods to her back with markers on them. I am thinking there must be an easier way.

If it matters… I am using Lightwave 9 to model the wings and render them, Syntheyes to track, and after effects / premiere for the final product.

thanks for any help.
