Matchmoving + Explosion Reference

I started on the camera matchmove for the shot.  It’s a fairly tricky shot – Adam helped out by creating a nice garbage matte to mask out the gunner in the foreground.  A little finessing of the tracking parameters and solving tolerances in PFTrack has gotten me pretty far, though there is still a good deal of slipping/scene orientation/focal length mess to deal with.  Here’s a .mov of my current progress on the solve . . .
