No tracking marks should be needed if you use mocha. Just avoid the reflections in your shape to define tracking the monitor edges. 

We are actually releasing a cool new lens calibration workflow for AE users very soon. Stay tuned... ;)

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.
