I recently tracked different kind of Iphone and Ipads screen replacements
with different methods, and cant be sure whats the optimal way of preparing the shoot.
my question is:
do you use green on iphone and ipads where good reflections are needed to sell the shot?
my considerations are:
on one hand:
with green sticker -> better track and maybe easier roto, but you do have to remove it
and no reflections.
on the other hand:
without green sticker -> more rotoscoping, sometimes difficult track, but good reflections.
the way I decided doing it was with no green because mocha can track just with
the shapes and proportions and the green I get usually its just a pain to remove
and although helps me with the track, I do have to remove it and replace it. and
usually it doesn't help me with keying it because the shot is lit for the main action
and not the green inside. the problem is I got a shot with bright sun behind
and the track was very hard. a green would have at least help with the shear shift.
what do you recommend as the best course of action for iphones and ipads
and GUI screens in general (where you need the reflections)?
thanks
