Because focus distance changing affects on lens distortion.

Good question! If both of the cameras have the same lens mount then, in theory, 1 is enough. But we will be grateful if you test that theory and send results to us to: solveme@matchmovemachine.com You just need to put 2nd camera at the same place (make sure, that sensor is on the same place compared to 1st camera) and shoot grid in Open Gate mode.

Generally no - it can be a slightly unparallel to the camera sensor. But trying to make a Grid perfectly parallel to the camera sensor is a kind of "sharing love and passion" act to the person who will work with this material. Because if you see perfectly fits grid you can not make your own part of the job bad =) For alignment we use laser leveler to set horizon + center line; laser meter to set exact height; phone/laser meter leveler to make sure that camera angle is 0. If we have a lot of lenses and whole day - we use dolly also.

@@matchmovemachine makes sense! Thank you.

The most flexible and good resulting software is 3DEqualizer, PFTrack and SynthEyes. For this shot we also used proxy geometry - it helps to get a better tracking.

@@matchmovemachine oh, "proxy geometry" this is the first time I hear about it. I'm gonna take some researches with this keyword, thanks so much for replying me!

Yes, we are planning to share some tips and tricks soon. Stay subscribed to get updates

Yes, we don't need to move camera if grid is in focus at different focus distance values - it is very handy, that is why we recommend to close aperture to max value. About anamorphic lens rotation - the industry standard camera and lenses works together very well and it is hard to mount lens badly =)

It depends. Our regular clients trying to provide proxy geo because they know how it helps to speed it up the whole process. Sometimes we do proxy on our side

Thankyou for replying my comment.. Okay.. But how do you create the proxy environtment.? Actually i have problem create a proxy, spesially i d'know how to create that just from the footage..

@@Ferdimultimedia when you get camera you can create proxy using Nuke's ModelBuilder node, PFTrack has the same function, also it is possible in 3DEq or you can use Maya or any other 3d software

Internal studio library

@@matchmovemachine ага, вот только пополнилась ваша библиотека машинкой, не прочитав внимательно лицензию на скетчфабе...) Будем что-то решать?

3DEqualizer, PFTtrack, SynthEyes, Nuke, Maya, GeoTracker

do you have a course or a tutorial ?@@matchmovemachine

We have our inhouse knowledge database. You can find a great tutorials on 3DEqualizer website also!@@momenkhaled99
