Matchmoving
Matchmoving is a process in film visual effects where designers track the movement of a real camera so that digital elements can be placed into live-action footage with the correct position, scale, and movement. Designers use matchmoving to make sure that 3D objects, characters, or environments appear as if they are really part of the filmed scene. One interesting fact is that matchmoving can use information from lens distortion, which means the way a camera lens bends light, to make digital effects fit even better into the live-action shot. This helps digital objects look more real because they follow the same bending and stretching as the real footage.
