glad I could help. Most of the best advice I have to offer comes from my own problems.
Take it easy,
Aharon

Will you be at IBC? I’ll be there – hanging out at the GridIron booth, every day except Saturday. Please stop by and say hello.

even with the ram chahed I’ve found that it isn’t always perfect. Reduce the size to 50% while still keeping quality at 100% – you may see a difference.

[Vincent Becquiot] “It could have been added in post, but this reflection looks pretty real and is usually something you actually would want to avoid.”
Not if you want it to look “real.” The very fact that specularity in there is actually an indicator that it’s not really there. Why didn’t they just use a finish that wouldn’t reflect light. saying that it looks to real to be fake becasue of a “mistake” is what makes good compositing. If it were too clean then we wouldn’t be having this conversation.
Again, this is just a guess… I really do have no idea.

You can convert the expression to keyframes by selecting the property with the expression and then choose
Animation > Keyframe Assistan > Convert Expression to keyframes
Once this is done, the expression is disabled and you can take whatever frame you want and make it whatever value you want, and it will be keyframed. You can just delete any keyframes you want as well.

Not that I know anything about this, but it seems like it would be a lot easier to do this using 3D, so that the carboard cutouts are 3D layers tand tracked in using bojou or something else. this would make it a lot easier to deal with the shots.
Th reason I suspect that they may have done it this way is becasue the motion on the cardboard in some of those walk aways is really jittery.
He may actually be picking something up that has been placed behind the spot the actors are supposed to be standing in (That they are blocking), so when we see him carrying soemthing, he may actually be holding something they used for tracking.
A little color correcting (as has clearly been done) and some camera jitter and it could faked convincingly, I think. And I think this method is probably more reliable and less likely to encounter problems then using actual cardboard cutouts.
Again, only a guess and I’m probably wrong, but it seem slike it could work.

Not having used any of these, I can;tr recomend, other than to say that Digital Anarchy has a forum here. And Jim Tierney the head of the company answers questions.
So if you are looking for a product that will be supported, that;s a good bet.
But that’s only good it the product itself does what you need.
