Week: 15 – 21 November
As early as this week, I started working on the camera tracking phase for the selected footages that has been confirmed last week. I have made the final cut for each shot and exported them for the next process in Blender, so I will only need to solve the camera movement for the exact duration and frames only. I planned to have all the footages to be tracked by the end this week so I can focus on the animation and post-production during the remaining 3 weeks before the dateline.
The camera tracking went smoothly as I already learned and experimented the process quite heavily during my personal project and indie film project in term 3.

I chose to begin with the last shot (shot 10) first as I considered this as a benchmark shot for my animation. It has a long camera panning with multiple objects movement when compared to the other shots. I want to get this shot finish first, so in a worst case scenario if I suddenly don’t have enough time to complete all shots, I will go all out with for this shot only with all animation in it. But of course this is just the thinking only as I want to have all the shots in my final animation.
About couple of hours later, I managed to get the satisfactory result for shot 10. The process was quite smooth and I’m very happy with the track.
I then proceed to track the other shots. The processes are almost similar to the shot 10 and below are the results.
