Imagineer in Recent News and Film
Imagineer Systems has recently been making headlines, with product releases, high-end film work and a number of customers being honored with VFX Oscar nominations. Imagineer kicked off 2014 with a brand new product collaboration with CoreMelt on TrackX powered by mocha, which leverages the Planar Tracking technology to precisely track camera motion, objects and people for seamless visual effects and screen composites. Additionally, mocha Pro was used in a number of Oscar-nominated films, including The Wolf of Wall Street, The Hobbit and American Hustle.
Rob Legato, VFX supervisor and Second Unit Director on The Wolf of Wall Street, states, The work that's on screen indirectly benefits from the speed that one gets from using mocha. [ ] It does a great job tracking to lessen the amount of time it takes, giving you more and more opportunities to perfect a shot and make it totally appropriate for the movie.
