Minority Report Tutorial?

[David Bogie]

[Sean Tatalovich] “does anyone have a cool simple tutorial on how to create the minority report effect moving screens across the screen?
I know it involves motion tracking. some ppl use a dot on the finger to pinpoint the tracking but won’t this be visible in result?”

Nothing simple about that effect in its final realization although the basics are relatively simple. Just takes planning, and practice.

You don’t a point on the finger if there’s contrast between the finger and everything else. but tracking data from the finger is not necessarily the motivational force behind movement of the panels since there is an implied snapping function and quite sophisticated ballistics considering the items are completely invisible to the actors.

How I would do it is use bonjour 3-d solving. Once you have your tracking data, you can “simply” create all your special effects around that.

take the bonjour tracking

and then apply the iron man Head up display to the tracking data
