Matchmoving

For my final year project at Staffordshire University I decided I wanted to try and combine a variety of the new techniques I had learned into one project. My idea was to create a ident similar to the channel 4 ones. As it wasn’t something I had done before I went out and filmed lots of different places to gather an idea of what worked and what didn’t. These tests showed me what type of movements caused problems when tracking the cameras shots, as well as what type of locations worked better than others. Below are a few of the early concept ideas of how the ident could look, the video tests can be found here.

Other areas that were thought about and explored was to either sculpt the detail on the new geometry being added into the scene or use photographs captured at the time for textures.

The final result and video can be seen below
