Deadline: 2 January 2008
The Pixel Farm‘s short film festival, PFShorts, was launched at the company‘s inaugural PFUser Group during Siggraph 2007. But if you didn‘t get the chance to attend the festival, we‘re giving you another chance to enter – and win camera-tracking gear with a total value of over $10,000 in the process!
Formed in 2002, The Pixel Farm provides collaborative solutions for digital composting and visual effects. Best known for its industry-standard camera-tracking and match-moving applications, PFTrack and PFMatch, The Pixel Farm also produces a range of other tools, including automated digital intermediate image-restoration system PFClean and resolution-independent clip player PFClip.
For independent artists, the company produces PFHoe 2.0, a cost-effective tracking application for Mac and Windows, based on core technology developed for PFTrack. With support for even HD-resolution footage, the software offers professionals a simple-to-use first-hit tracking solution; for hobbyists and first-time users, it offers an ideal introduction to the world of match moving.
PFHoe‘s import wizard guides you through the process of importing and setting up your footage by explaining the parameters that are needed to successfully track a shot. Its simple one-click toolset provides an environment even the most inexperienced user will get great results from.
And like its big brothers PFTrack and PFMatch, PFHoe solves any kind of camera motion, including zooms and nodal pans. Camera data can then be exported to common CG packages including Maya, XSI, 3ds Max and Blender.
