Problem Solver

Ok so im all about solving problems and understanding things properly, so the problems i was having with the Matchmoving i have tackled by reading more, learning more and google troubleshooting. The problem was, that even though I have read about this many times in the last 2 weeks, and however much it was drilled into my head, I had just left the lens and camera information.

Maybe it was because i was worried due to my lack of knowledge or maybe i just forgot. even so I found this to be the problem. It turns out that my camera was doing a whole bunch of crazy things....jumping from nonsensical point to non nonsensical point. then i faced facts and spent 20 minutes finding out the focal length, lens size and height. I input this data and immediately things started to match up a little better. the camera was also in more or less the same place in the scene as sanjay was on the day of filming!

Lastly i went back over some of my tracks, created some point relations which helped place them better within 3D space. Here are some screenshots describing how i further improved the track and then the final matchmove to be submitted to my group for approval.

next I will go into how i have set up the scene to pass on to the animators.
