Short test using Motion tracking and masking. these are the main techniques that will be used on our film, motion tracking to keep the tank from looking like its floating about, also masking to make it look like its behind that black boxy thing to the right of the screen.
the main things I need to do to this clip to make it look better is to set up cameras that replicate the lighting of the room where I did the filming, also keep the real life camera and Maya camera to be at roughly the same angle. I also need to look at some tutorials on lighting, as I want to do render passes to get the shadows right.
After doing a few tests on after effects i decided not to use MatchMover, as it gave me much better quality tracking, and it created a 3d space with an animated camera.
at first i found it really difficult to use as whenever i tried using an auto track (which is what all the tutorias said to do,it either crashed my computer or came out as nonsense, so instead i used manual track , which gave me a much better result and it also allowed me to learn how the programme works out the scene by using coordinate systems, which im guessing uses trigonometry?
now that i have tracked my scenes i can see that maybe the filming that we made was not too appropriate for tracking, as it mooved too much and too fast, and also i should film a bit longer than neccecary, as when we did the final edit the tracks started shaking in near the ends of the shots, although we should of edited them out either way, even if it made our film shorter.
