Great job Todd,

One more tool you can use when tracking items on Ipads/Iphones is this:

Hope this helps,

That is called chromatic aberration, it is a physical limitation of a lens. Higher end cameras that employ more expensive lenses and chromatic aberration correction software will have less of it.

You will get CA when:

-You are using a long lens (zooming in a lot)
-High contrast
-low cost gear

Thanks you to all that responded, this is very useful information.

Thanks for the feedback Tim, I have many more graphics systems as well as photo stations as well so I need to try to keep all systems+software uniform.

Cheers,

To add on Angelos calculations you might want to consider using a Nila light as opposed to traditional HMI or Tungsten lights.

-A Nila light can be either daylight or tungsten
-Cool to the touch, very good on tight spaces.
-Flicker free up to 1500fps
-Fully dimmable (%0-%100)
-Extremely low draw, 2500W HMI equivalent draws 500W.

Since Todd talked about practicals I’ll touch a little on green screen work. Here is sample of GC work where I like to take into consideration what the practicals are and how I can recreate them in post.

Here I put a hair light with a high yellow on the subject and then in post added a yellowish glow to make it look like it was being generated from the location. I also added a complementary blue light behind the Image in the background to create a pleasant contrast with his skin color.

Here is another approach for the “30 second” commercial we just did. This is just to show the otherside of putting together a concept in a single take.

And a small behind the scenes without the animations:

You can see all the rules other pointed out applied in slightly different way since this was a oner, but overall it not too far out.

PS: If I remember correctly I think Todd did a similar commercial with a single take in a hallway of a college and a lot more actors that was very impressive. Maybe he can repost that.

“I’ve just done what I assumed to be the norm. Up-rez the SD and add pillars. This then inter-cuts quite nicely with the HD material.”

To add to what Nick recommended; I would fill the pillars with the original video blown up 130% and out of focus (and slightly darker, maybe 80%).

I think this was posted here a few years back, it should answer all your questions:

I couldn’t find them at NAB, maybe I needed to look harder. I am also very intrigued by this.

The AC’s that work on Movi shoots are going to go bold at a very young age.
