Yes sir, I did. CG and comps.

<edit> Actually not on that still, though.

Cool, you have any specific shots from the trailer you worked on? (Although I can't imagine the crew was huge for this kind of production?)

But, little girl? Doesn't seem to be an actress? Who... what... *Calvin squinchy confused face*

Ugh, yeah, I know the joy of tracking footage without trackers, tons of fun. But the thing that irked me so much about the first little sequence of shots (Well all of them really, but the lock-offs don't count...so yeah...), is that just based on the Live action footage I can see of Alice, there isn't a lot of movement going on with the camera, and everything else in frame is fake (I'm assuming the puppet was comped in later yes? And wasn't an on-set thing?), so I'm wondering why you didn't just say screw the exact track, take what it gave you, strip out the up and down information, smooth out the rest of it, and just hand animate the rest. The most dramatic move I saw in that first little bit (With Alice in it) was a tiny bit of a dolly back and then a pan to the left. Or if you really wanted to strip it down, just take the Alice footage, stabilize it to get rid of the shake, and then just hand animate the camera to Alice for all the CG stuff.

It seems relatively simple enough looking at it from this end, but obviously I don't have the actual footage, so there might have been other limiting factors. But that's why I'm so confused as to why you stuck with the SUPERSHAKICAM9000. Was it a director thing, did he like the supershakicam9000 (I'm sticking with this, just roll with it) or was it something else on a technical level at the back end?

Oh... and I just noticed. There's one shot (Around the 1:26 mark) of just the scarecrow and the tinman, but it still has SUPERSHAKICAM9000 applied. Was that to try and tie it together? Because the scarecrow isn't actually moving with the camera, the tinman and the background are just sort of floating around in the background for some reason. And that's probably the best example of what I was talking about where all the different elements seem to be living in their own little world.

EDIT: I think my entire post can be summed up nicely by our favorite little engineer: "You confound me some is all."

Sheeeet son. Congratz.
