MATCHMOVE

Bringing Realism to Every Frame with Precision

At Rotomaker, our Matchmove services are essential for seamlessly integrating computer-generated elements with live-action footage. Through precise tracking of both the camera and objects in a scene, we ensure that 3D models and digital effects move naturally and interact realistically with their real-world environment.

With over 15 years of experience and a portfolio of 3500+ successful projects, we specialize in creating high-quality visual effects that perfectly align CGI with live-action content. Whether you’re working on a blockbuster film, a commercial, or a video game cinematic, our Matchmove process ensures that every digital element feels like it was captured on camera.

Our Matchmove Process

1

Camera Tracking

Our team starts by analyzing and tracking the movement of the camera used in the shot. By capturing the real-world movement, we create an accurate virtual camera that mimics the filmed camera, allowing us to place 3D elements naturally within the live-action footage.

2

Object Tracking

In addition to camera movement, we track key objects within the shot, such as characters, vehicles, or props. By precisely tracking these moving elements, we ensure that digital objects and effects interact accurately with their environment, maintaining realistic spatial relationships and depth.

3

Camera Solve

Using the tracked data, we solve for the 3D camera’s movement. This step generates a virtual camera that behaves exactly like the original camera used in production, ensuring perfect alignment of CGI with live-action footage.

4

3D Integration

With the camera and object movements captured and solved, we proceed to integrate 3D objects or visual effects into the scene. These elements are adjusted for scale, lighting, and positioning, ensuring they blend seamlessly with the live-action material.

5

Final Adjustment

The final step involves fine-tuning the placement of 3D elements, ensuring that they fit naturally within the environment. We ensure that lighting, shadows, reflections, and interactions between digital and real-world objects are flawless, resulting in a fully integrated scene.
