![]() ![]() Without Mocha we would have had to re-shoot again just to show a slightly different menu in use. ![]() With a few quick splines, we were able to insert footage of the most updated versions of the app using the same original shot and create a clean roto for out talent’s hands (the results are seen below). (It wasn’t until later I learned that this step wasn’t necessary, as the program would have had no problem with an image on screen and would have been better with perhaps just a black screen to keep some of the natural reflections from the screen.) We took care of this problem ahead of time by shooting the iPad usage with an all-green wallpaper, giving us a good solid base to use Mocha Pro’s color tracking abilities. As we all know from software development, a project can have features, menus and graphic elements added, moved or deleted all together, potentially making some of our user footage obsolete or misleading, and in effect, worthless. The app itself is still in beta and too early for a copy to work on a native iPad, so we had to get by on simple animations based on developer screenshots. Mocha Pro also helped us on a recent project, a promotional video for a client’s upcoming iPad app. We once had to remove a controversial book from a bookshelf in the background in one project and it came in very handy. Mocha’s primary uses include brand replacement, item removal and logo replacement. Not spending much time creating visual effects I was surprised how useful a tool like Mocha was to a full-time editor for situations like he billboard, and a great deal of other things, too. Mocha Pro, like the original Mocha, uses planar tracking to track regions of planar surfaces in your footage, not just a few local pixels, computing not only second variables, such as X-Y movement, rotation and scale, but 3D elements such as perspective, for ultra-convincing replacement of any part of your scene. It combines the functionality of previously available products into one single package, making it easier to get the job done faster. Mocha Pro is the latest version of the company’s planar tracking software. ![]()
