Shark Ninja tasked me to camera track this scene and create a 3d animated product in the scene. I also wanted to include some tips for shooting scenes for camera tracking:
1. Always include a liittle movement in your scene for realsim.
2. Put down camera tracking markers.
3. Shoot with a high shutter speed in order to reduce motion blur.
4. Stand where your virtual object will be animated and shoot a 360 degree panormic still of the set with your phone. This will allow the vfx guy to create an enviroment map to match the lighting of the scene.
5. Make sure you shoot a flat backroung plate with no actors.
6. Try to have an object in the foreground as well as the background. This increases the accuracy of the track.

Want to do a product shoot without the camera or lights? A client recently came to me to camera track stock footage scenes and create and light the 3D product to insert into the live action. What a great solution for this Covid maddness.
