The new scene really started to come together this week. I
posted a test video that I think gives a good indication what the final version
will look like.
I think I've got all the vehicle movements done now.
Although I might need to do some tweaks later.
I spent most of my time on the set up of the cameras. Most
of the cameras were fairly easy, but a couple were more difficult. One of these
is a point of view shot from the driver, while the other is a close up of the
driver. I plan I need to have them to stay in the exact same position relative
to the car and that turns out to be very finicky work.
The point of view camera is a bit easier because I can
eyeball the position reasonably well. The close up camera is a real pain. I
plan to composite in the driver and to make that easier, I need the camera
settings to be very precise.
It is OK when the car moves in a straight line, but when it
changes direction it becomes a night mare. I developed a formula to convert the
relative coordinates of the camera to the coordinates after the car changes
direction. The one I came up with was a bit too simplistic and I'll need to
work on it some more.
I was quite happy how the sequence looks when I cut it all
together. I can improve on the continuity though. I also wonder if I need to
add more trees and maybe some ground cover to the set.
