David Edward Keen Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 Hello wizards, I wonder what are these marks? Little x's. What is their function? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Phil Rhodes Posted December 2, 2015 Premium Member Share Posted December 2, 2015 Tracking. In postproduction, the computer can recognise and track the location of the red crosses to ensure that the background stays in the right place as the camera moves. With most modern software, any reasonably high-contrast target can be used for tracking. Putting coloured crosses on the green is just one way of doing it. Sometimes, a different shade of green (or blue) is used because it's then easier to key out the tracking markers. P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Edward Keen Posted December 2, 2015 Author Share Posted December 2, 2015 Ah to create the relative movement between camera and objects you'd expect to see in reality? Great piece on Dick Pope BSC, btw. Just realized you must be that Phil Rhodes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
