Motion Tracking Experiment #2 | Pixel Film Studios Tech

Woo! Our second experiment with 3D motion tracking took only a fraction of the time the first experiment did, and it looks way way cooler... Check out the lighting interactions and shadow play.

Gamma Correction - Before & After | Pixel Film Studios Tech

For the untrained eyes of videographers and filmmakers out there! Below are before-and-after samples of a Pixel Film Studiosshoot. The subject at hand?

Gamma correction.

The easiest thing to note is the noise in the darker shades, especially the areas in each frame that are supposed to be as black as possible. Note: For proper comparative viewing, set the "Before" video to "720p."

Motion Tracking Experiment | Pixel Film Studios Tech

After 24 hours of troubleshooting, some profane language, and desk flipping we finally figured out 3D motion tracking technology. Mind you, this was self-taught experimentation - no licensed professor or school of film-making here!
 
What we're trying to say is that these capabilities will soon allow Optimus Prime to attend your wedding and walk you down the aisle, should you choose the "Transformer Wedding Package."
 
Kidding. But in the meantime, check out our experiment!
