WEEK 2 - R&D

This week for Team Cartier I’m researching solutions for shots 1 and 3’s CG backgrounds to be in focus.

Problem: Moire and pixelation on LED Volume when in focus.

Example of Moirè

Solution 1: Create a mask using FBX data from the camera on set, then replace the environment.

R&D: Currently working to connect the camera’s FBX data to the Unreal Engine camera.

Solution 2: Create a Green card on the LED Volume that would only be behind our actors.

Negative: The green spill on the actor is severe.

Solution 3: I’ve researched frame remapping/flipping for the LED Volume Luke mentioned during our pitch meeting. However, Stage Manager Christos told me we don’t have the capability yet.

Negative: Don’t have tools to achieve this solution.
