i dont like tracking markers for screen replacement. They are more trouble than they are worth. if you can see the screen that you are replacing mocha should be able to track it. 

will you be shooting to an external recorder? Ive only had one C300 job so far and the internal AVC compression wasnt the greatest...

Getting ready to shoot a short with a decent amount of screen replacements. Almost all are old school CRTs with small to medium curvature on the glass. I was the reflection of the lighting etc. on the monitor to be part of the final composite.

 

Do you think with improvements to trackers that points are needed and if so, is a very thin cross (to minimize filling in the reflection map) good enough? Much of the lighting will be low key or night lighting. Will be shoot with C300.

 

Probably will be using AE and/or AE Mocha’s trackers. No hand held – all dolly/jib and occasionally lockoff.

A film is – or should be – more like music than like fiction. It should be a progression of moods and feelings. The theme, what’s behind the emotion, the meaning, all that comes later.
