hi folks, i'm doing a bit of research for an upcoming project and any suggestions would be welcome.
The director would like to replace stand in actors heads with some cg heads, and i'm looking for the best way to go about doing this. the camera will most likely be moving and motion control isn't an option, the actors will of course be moving to. I've been investigating some sort of rig with ping pong balls (or similar) and then possibly syntheyes or boujou to track and send to maya. the shot would later be comped in shake / nuke / afx. however i haven't been having much success. the biggest problem(s) are that the actors will likely be doing some fairly extreme motions, turning full 360 deg. and that it's supposed to be a night shot, with flares, so there goes the day for night option.
if anybody has had to do this sort of thing before or has any suggestions please feel free to post them.
thanks.
