3D Apache Tracking Test

A short little video. Nothing special, just a short clip of another synth eyes track. I animated the apache and gave it the look that it is hovering above my bedroom tiles.

With which program did you track the ground into 3d dimensions so you actually turn around the chopper?

@CrzayMazy Synth Eyes, you could do it with boujou also, but if you dont have money, Voodo is a free motion tracking program.

@LightningFireFilms I'm using Boujou right now but I'm having huge problems getting a solid track even if I use custom marker (white paper with black crosses). I've seen Synth Eyes tutorials in which it looked easy to select and track those kind of tracking point, but I can't get it to work in Boujou. Thanks for your reply.

@CrzayMazy If there is too much motion blur, any track would be hard. When shooting footage that will be motion tracked, try shooting at a higher shutter speed to reduce motion blur. Other than that, is there any other problem you think might have an effect on why its not tracking that well, let me know.

how do you make the blades rotate?

How long do you render it out ?

[CrzayMazy]

@LightningFireFilms It was a very steady shot at 720p/25fps, but it already got a bit darker and so there was some noise which I think was the main reason Boujou had a major problem tracking it. I did manage to get a solid track, but it needed a lot of manual adjustments. I later tracked the ground outside with a lot of daylight and the automatic tracker did a perfect job!
