Ok so after leaving the harder atrium shot i got on very well with this shot which I name VFX_StairShot.
the stair shot involved some new challenges as I only had on-set messurements for the geometry behind the camera itself. Now this wasnt necessarily a bad thing. By taking a few more messurements such as step height and depth I just went through starting with the first step in view at the bottom of the shot and modelled out the basic shape, which ''looked right'' in my head. Then i colour corrected m plates as i find this a huge help when auto tracking.
I then tracked and in 2D and solved the camera, imported and it was more or less right. Using a few relations i further corrected this and in around 1 and a half working days I got this shot tracked. I think the total time for this shot was between 12 and 16 hour, a considerable amount of time less than the last 24 to 30 hour first shot. This is good as it shows I am developing. I know These times are no where near proffesional yet. For instance in the book i am reading, It mentions a few times that a matchmover might spend 3 to 4 hours tracking a shot. But I am learning. and not just learning to submit this uni work, Im leaning to learn!
I arranged the scene similar to the first as this got good feedback from my team and from my tutor who approved the use of text and instructions embeded.
Here is a quick render of cubes in situ. nothing special obviously, just a pre-vis or test.
