Hey guys,

Thought I'd just let you know what I'm doing currently.

I'm in the process of solving the 'filmback' of a camera I use.
However it's attached to a Brevis 35 and causes some changes to what the actual sensor of the camera behind all of that is. Instead of the sensor/filmback being the little CCD/CMOS chip inside the camera, it is now the ground glass within the Brevis 35. Although we know the ground glass is the same size as a 36mm sensor in a Canon 5d for example, due to the way this system works you need to zoom into it from your camcorder. Thus the 36mm will have shrunken down, to what, I don't know just yet but I'm determined to find out.
If I can get a reasonable result, I shall put a tutorial up on youtube or perhaps a site that you can enter some data into.

This matters to me as I like using this setup for getting nice shallow depth of field shots but it can be a bit of a nightmare when it comes to tracking. I've had successful results in the past without entering in any known data but I feel now I should get a bit more precise with it.

I'll be using Will Earl's method, and will credit him of course !

I'm also trying to get my first matchmoving show reel finished, in desperation for this week !

90% of the shots are tracked, and I'm just running them through maya to add some basic geometry, as this is just a pure matchmoving reel, no nice lighting or animation to be expected.
