Hi all

I'm mainly a print guy but I still do quite a bit of motion work for which
this list is my invaluable resource. Thought I'd post an interesting
project that I completed recently. You can find it here on my company FB
page:

https://www.facebook.com/LoopCorp

The video breakdown on the VW OneFilm link has some explanation but it is
aimed at clients so doesn't go into technicalities a lot - suffice to say
it was a classic Mocha job. It was envisioned as a full 3d job by my client
and they were sceptical of my assertion that Mocha was a better solution. I
managed to talk them around with some tests and I'm really glad I did. Not
only was it much less of a burden to the render house, but VW also came
back with understandable worries that the initially erratic camera moves
could be construed as being caused by the car!  So the whole project ended
up being stabilised more and, of course, re-tracked. It was painful enough
getting it done in the time with planar tracking, 3d tracking would have
been a nightmare. The one sequence that was a worry to me was the aeroplane
sequence as that needed new text placed on the trailing banner. Eventually
I went with a less well reported AE plug-in which is ReMap UV and that
really saved the day as I didn't want one 3d sequence to break the clean AE
pipeline we'd established.

Most of the "non-live" post work was by Framestore (edit, grade etc and the
huge cleanup job on the "art gallery" sequence featured) and we had some
11th hour crunch help by the talented people at Peanut fx
