Day of shoot: Workflow when moving tracked cam (in DE flow)

Back to Posts

 

We use Aximmetry Broadcast DE 2024.2 (trial) and we are figuring out the details of the workflows.

One thing I cannot get clear is what steps needs to be done when we move the PTZ cam (Canon N700) to another place and height.
  •  We use a Canon N700 tracked via the internal FreeD protocol (so PTZ only!)
  •  We did the lens calibration (and basic calibration as well)
  •  We do not use a Vive Mars (yet)
  •  We use it in DE scenes (so with Unreal scenes) with Tracked cam.

What steps needs to be done during the shoot?
Do we have to adjust the height in the camera calibration?
Do we trigger the new origin point and have to adjust the Studio configuration?

As for some context: I am trying to schedule the day of the shoot, but cannot use our studio these days to test it out.
So, as this will be our first 'Virtual Production" shoot, I am searching for the detailed steps when moving te camera.
The more time it takes, the less camera positions we will put in our shotlist...

Hi Dennis,

Yes, you will need to adjust the height of the calibration. You can do this directly in Aximmetry. First set the height in your calibration to 0 in the Calibrator, then set the height in the Delta Cam Transf parameter of the ORIGIN panel in Aximmetry Composer. You can read more about it here: https://aximmetry.com/learn/virtual-production-workflow/preparation-of-the-production-environment-phase-i/tracking/camera-and-head-transformations/#origin-panels

Since you are limited on time, it is best to use the Detect Origin feature to set the Delta Cam Transf. Detailed information on this feature can be found here: https://aximmetry.com/learn/virtual-production-workflow/preparation-of-the-production-environment-phase-i/tracking/camera-and-head-transformations/#detect-origin

Additionally, you will need to adjust the virtual STUDIO walls in the STUDIO panel to fit your new real-world studio environment.

Warmest regards,
