Yesterday i talked to 2 people, the first Chris Cooper head of tracking, and the second Johnny Hann, A director and the lead fx td on Smallville.
Chris Cooper - Tracking:
I have heard from Chris that a profesional tracker needs to be able to manual track a whole shot.
36 is the minimum number of tracks per frame of each shot.
In general framestore use over 100 tracks per frame of each shot to ensure stabillity.
As a runner there already, I need not search for online posted jobs a i know vacant positions currently exist.
Chris says that applicants should have a showreel including different types of shots and camera movements traked, usually with full breakdown to show just trackers on the plate.
Johnny Hann - FX TD:
This position isnt usually advertised, as its really based on your own flare if a company thinks that they need you.
Johnny told me that a sucsessful applicant for this job role would have just the very best examples of they're work on a showreel, with no plain effects on black backgrounds, and definatly no boring unexciting effects such as a beautifully made bonfire.
I think finding this information has helped me direct myself further into getting one of these chosen jobroles
