Match Moving with the Canon 5D Mark II

By canon, Matchmoving

Using a Canon 5D Mark II Francesco Rivolta has been trying out some match moving, a visual-effects technique that allows the insertion of computer graphics into live-action footage with correct position, scale, orientation, and motion relative to the photographed objects in the shot:


We like the Nestle and the Luck Music between the two blocks of flats, no word on the software Francesco used as of yet but we assume it was PFTrack or such like.

Tiltshift, City and Robot – RenkeBot Lives

By 3dmax, compositing, Tilt Shift Photography

Tiltshift, 3D Max a city and robot, really whats not to like:

RenkeBot Lives- part2! from Matt Moses on Vimeo.

Created by Matt Moses the city backplates were shot with the Canon 7D and a Tilt Shift lens. Tilt shift lenses give it that “tiny town” look of small scale DOF. Matt built and textured the robot in 3dsmax, and rigged him using CAT – Rendered in Finalrender, composited in Combustion. All three shots took 3 days, including a day to build the robot.

Only only gripe – we wish is was a bit longer, really nicely done.

Contested Space – Projecting the Surveillance

By Posts

Contested Space is a BFA thesis project by Bruce Paul. It is based around the intriguing idea of projecting live CCTV camera footage onto the area which is under surveillance:

The United Kingdom is one of the most surveyed counties in the world and with the advent of low cost, long life projector units the prospects of having such a system used to remind citizens that ‘we are being watched is kind of scary. Scary, yet somehow inevitable at some point in a digital urban environment.
