In december 2006 I went to Iceland to visit a friend who worked at Lazytown studios in Reykjavik.

The childrens programme "LazyTown" was shot in a studio in Iceland with an international cast and crew, using High Definition Virtual Cinematography. The studio is located in a 5067m2 facility in Gardabaer, Iceland. It has all the necessary facilities to produce, shoot, finish and deliver the LazyTown TV show. Everything from the script to the finished product is produced within the studio building; offices and rooms for producers, make-up, image data processing, CGI, compositing, editing, color correction, finishing, music & sound composition, recording and editing.

3D tracking / Matchmoving

2008-11-09T12:25:00.029+01:00

Match Moving is a technology to allow the insertion of virtual objects into real footage with the correct position, scale, orientation and motion in relation to the photographed objects. The intent is that when the virtual and real scenes are composited together they will come from the same perspective and appear seamless.

My video gallery of 3D-tracked shots

www.omniproduksjon.no

In this shot I 3D tracked the scene and solved the camera. Inserted a grid where the water surface is, added animatics of the ships movement, extra fog around the ship, and made a matte for the building.

Adobe AfterEffects undervisning / workshop

2008-06-12T15:50:00.018+02:00

Adobe After Effects begynder der, hvor Photoshop, Illustrator og din Video-editor slutter!

Adobe AfterEffects er et stærkt værktøj til manipulation af levende billeder og grafik i bevægelse – Motion Graphics. Hvad enten du vil lave visuelle effekter, animere eller måske producere en titelsekvens – er AfterEffects et godt valg.

Programmet gør det muligt at kombinere og animere Photoshop-lag, vektorobjekter, tekst og filmklip til et samlet film-output.

Fremstilling og import af kildemateriale.

Animation med keyframes.

Arbejde med vektor- og pixelbaseret grafik.

Avancerede tekstanimationer.

Tilføjelse og redigering af filtereffekter.

Animation af masker.

At arbejde i 3D.

Klargøring og redigering af dit projekt.

After effects er på samme måde som Photoshop, et program der både henvender sig til den utrænede, og den proffesionelle. På kurset gennemgås interface og workflow. Størstedelen af kurset vil bestå i at opnå en forståelse og fortrolighed med de basale funktioner i programmet.

Forudsætninger
Kræver ikke noget kendskab til video effekter, men gerne kendskab til Premiere, Photoshop eller Illustrator.

Både grund- og mellemkurser samt kurser for viderekomne tilbydes om dagen, aftenen eller som weekend kurser.

Matchmoving made easier

2000-11-16T15:22:00.020+01:00

Matchmoving programs use photogrammetry to get their solutions, and photogrammetry relies on parallax shift to work. Therefore matchmoving programs need paralax shift to get a good solution.

To make a good solve make sure there are solid (non moving) objects to track in x-y-z space. There should be a good coverage of tacking points in space AND TIME. At any time there should be eight to fifteen good tracking points with good coverage within the frame.

The more the camera moves, the more accurate the solve will be. Because as the camera moves, parallax shift is introduced into the shot. As the camera passes objects, those objects that are closer to the camera appear to move faster than those in the distance. By comparing the movement of features in adjacent frames, the software calculates where the camera was placed in 3D space.

Water, sky, trees, bushes, grass, and similar patterns (people crows, brick walls, windows) all generate BAD tracking features. Remember that defocus, motion blur and smoke can ruin your tracking markers. If the camera is moving fast, you might have to place extra tracking markers.

To made a better solve, you can feed these information into the program.
- The focal length of the camera, or camera model
- The distance from ground to camera
- The distance from the camera to an object in the scene
- The scale or distance of objects in the scene

Camera zoom and pans can be difficult to solve !

Matchmoving / 3D tracking can easily be done remote. Feel free to contact me if you have shots that need solving.
