VFX test shot on RED...

AWESOME STUFF,, please post ur results as i will mine shortly as well

Hey, I just found this post and your workflow sounds a bit of something i'm experimenting with, and I thought you might be interested/ share experience. We've used a way to remap a handheld shaky camera to a 3d object (after tracking) and re-render a clean move. This technique could also be used to match different back- and foregroundplanes.

Actually, coming monday we're gonna shoot with the red for the first time. We will shoot a green screen studio with tracking markers, the people in it will be reprojected in 3d onto geometry, so we can remap camera motion in post. We've rented a RED with a 14mm lens, shooting in 4K, hoping that my resolution will be high enough to zoom in later, giving a lot of freedom panning etc. end result will be 720p.

I might post my workflow and experiences on this forum when we're done.

Ok,

so it's been over a month of heavy post work, but the results are really amazing. Shooting it this way with the RED in 4k and 14mm lens was excellent. We were able to reproject all tracked plates in 3d and have almost complete freedom in terms of camera movement.

The film is finished, but won't appear online for another 3 to 4 weeks. Will post a link as its done.
