Tracking and Animating Stage

I am still in the middle of tracking, I had one more shot to do, but this one has particularly bad tracking points, and every time I added more tracking points in made the "Solve" worse. So I thought to myself what if I were to find an alternative scene, this didn't really appeal to me because this would take time to track and I don't feel that I have the time to go back on myself. I looked anyway. I used the same film The Good Bad and the Ugly. I looked at the chapter selection area of the DVD and chapter 8 looked quite good. I looked through it with the intention of finding a scene where there is no tracking involved, then the gun shop scene came on screen. PERFECT!

The idea of then trying to edit it with my existing footage then came to mind, and it seemed to flow well in my head. I intend on animating a pet bird in this shop. My other idea was to have a child sitting on the work surface but I think that would be biting off more than I can chew.

Here's my thoughts on my first storyboard draft. (The numbered bullet points are typed versions of my notes).

3- Change of plan- dinosaur will be walking. master points to something with a nod of his head. dinosaur then looks up at his master and then it's pace quickens for it to run off out of camera view.
4- Take out of scene, not enough tracking points. and not enough time to add floating wanted poster.

5- Preferred idea (as apposed to original idea)- run and jump being playful. Tail wagging.
6- Not enough tracking points. CUT SCENE OUT.

7- Again not enough tracking points. Cut scene out.
8- Cut this scene out as well. this scene exceeds 30second limit. Also not enough time to animate an extra character.

1 & 2- were my first thoughts.
3- (I then changed my mind), will use this scene now as it fits better with new sequence idea.
