Today we had to start thinking of objects that are mechanical or architectural that it will be placed in a set of pre-filmed videos. It was tasked to us to look them thoroughly and find the 3 to 5 best ones for the objects. If the video shows great movement, some shakiness will surely make the shot more complicated but also more interesting. It will stand out more since it's not easy to track but it will demonstrate our ability to track complicated shots.
I have looked thoroughly to each video given to us and came up with multiple ideas, some being:
Dungeness_MVI_6854 plate
My plan for this shot is to add to the abandoned shed an extension like a garage where inside it will be rested a camping van, Toyota Hiace from 1979-1995. The extended shed is going to have only two kinds of material wood as supports and to cover in curved steel sheets decayed.
The plate does introduce some challenges as such there is quite a lot of camera movement, shakiness, and quite challenging to find good marking points to have a stable track.

This plate I think I went a bit overboard, my modelings skills are not particular polished and for something this scale I would need to practice. My idea is to change the entire landscape to a Japanese neon style street. I did take inspiration from several movies and I thought it would be amazing to create this idea by leaving the bridges from the plate as it is and add a few things.
The plate contains straightforward movement but very slight, there is quite a lot of points that are trackable and create a good track.

A visual effects artist sometimes can exaggerate on its idea and on this plate I think I can go a bit overboard. I thought to create a very simple kind of station, a tube train, benches, add some signs and a wall the has fallen and closed the exit of the train.
This plate has quite a lot of amazing markings points to track and get a good track for 3D objects. This is the plate I have chosen to follow as it was the one where I got more feedback from students and the tutor. A colleague as well is going to do the same idea but approaching it with the fallen wall blocking the train exit.
