Alien Robot in Room - Motion Tracking - Match Moving Test

Motion Tracking Visual Effect Test of Match Moving live video, 3D Animation and Photo-Real Compositing. This is a test Scene as I work at developing the skills needed to produce an independent film....

I was really happy with the lighting, shadows and color match after discovering how to use HDR and Global lighting.

Some of the tools I used were JVC GY-HD100, Lightwave, Premiere Pro CS4, After Effects and SynthEyes. The Robot Model was from modified from Lightwave Content (Credit were credit is due, great model for testing).

Only thing I would have advised is stabilizing the footage slightly. It's so jumpy it's hard to look at your wonderful rendering details.

@55vadamee - you have to watch it in 720P for it to be smooth. At the standard resolution it is very jittery. It was meant to have a little "real" movement to show the Match Moving.

this looks almost impossible, the background is jpeg? the chair, the drums...etc all moved (as in they moved to revealed what they covered) you used any mesh?

[kbsteve]

@theBOSS3105 - No Jepgs. The Room with the Drums and Chair was live video. I used SynthEyes to capture the camera movement from the Video and used that camera Movement in a LightWave Scene with the model of the robot.

Awesome clip! Can u explain the Lightwave HDR setup?

[kbsteve]

@swingrays - I didn't and typically do not use true HDR.  I fake it with just a good JPG photo of the room. Take 2 or 3 wide angle photos of the room, put together a single image in photoshop to be used as the texture of an inverted sphere in LW. Set Luminosity of sphere to around 100%. Turn on Global Illumination and render. Some times I use an extra LW light to add a key light as needed.
