Hi,
im a newbie to this, so I’m happy about any information how to start with such a task 
The problem is, there is an actor who should act with a laptop-like object which is placed on a table infront of him. The movements this object can do are a bit more complex then just flipping the lid up and down. The Object doesnt exist and should be inserted into the footage later as a CG Object.
So, how do I get started? I have Maya and PFTrack to use.
- which information do i have to track or collect during the shoot?
- should i use an object (sadly the object, which i intend to insert later can’t be build as a prop) or just nothing? The aim is to make the interaction between actor and object look realistic. So he really has to grab and twist and turn it.
- are there books or something anyone can recommend, that can help me getting into the subject?
maybe we could start a discussion about general techniques how to make actor/CG Interaction look authentic.
thanx for ur help
