Job Summary
Job description
Framestore combines talent and technology to bring life to everything we create. Driven by creativity and inspired by the future we set out every day to reframe the possible.
Trackers/Matchmovers are responsible for creating CG cameras and other motion files that adopt the same movements as the original background plate. They may also be responsible for modelling geometry in the background plate to allow reconstruction of the static surroundings. This enables the live-action to seamlessly interact with the CG elements. The motion files created (camera object or body track) are then passed down to other departments via the VFX pipeline.

Collaborating with other departments as required to ensure that the CG elements are seamlessly incorporated into the shot
Rendering wireframes of the scene geometry to be rendered and composited over the original plate to help judge the accuracy of each track
Work well in a team environment and take direction from the Lead and production team
