Ok so I put the footage I sorted out earlyer today into matchmover and after using the processes i have developed over the last week with my tests, I eventualy had enough track points at strategic places in my scene to sucsessfully solve the camera.
With this solved camera, i imported to maya and things matched up more or less perectly. on on e wall there was a slight bit of re-modelling, HOWEVER after consulting my notes from the day of the shoot, the set is actually much closer than what i had! With this scene more or less sucsessfully matchmoved, I will now go in and model all of the extra props needed so I can pass this scene on to our animators Joe and Nick.
Over all i am very happy with how this project is progressing. Our team is working perfectly with each other and everyone seems busy and happy. A couple of notes on what Ive seen on my collegues work is that our Animators are very good, they have completed some test walkcycles *seen earlyer in a matchmove test* with a downloaded rig similar to the one we will use. Our compositor is hard at work learning a new program from scratch using tutorials! our modelling department (ollie) is working at maximum awesomness and our creature is looking amazing! and finaly our rigging department (sanjay) is working very efficiently, following practices of another rigger, i forget who! but its looking really nice and fluid, the weights look great!
I am pretyy happy with my progress, I have solved one matchmove on our footage so far, and as for the footage itself I have made it workable (see interlaced and progressive problems earlyer) I feel very busy, and thats the way I like it. I've made sure that I know my responsibillitys for this project and Im working and planning accordingly.
