PSYOP
PSYOP Creative Collective New York used mokey to remove tracking markers and mokey:grainsurgery to complete the look of these difficult shots.
The Moving Picture Company
When producing the Tetrapak "Forests" commercial in November 2003, The Moving Picture Company's highly regarded commercials division relied on mokey for some particularly tough cleanup jobs.
Mac Million
The feature film "Room 36" was shot on 35mm but the negative was damaged in the scanning process. This lead the producers to look to the Digital Intermediary route and as a result signed up Mac Million of London for the editing and repair work that was needed. Mac Million were set to edit the job on their Sony Xpri system but knew they needed additional tools for the repair work, so they turned to Imagineer Systems and mokey.
Subvoyant
Subvoyant, the New York based post production house were working on the latest Sunkist campaign for Young & Rubicam, when they came across mokey. The tracking software was used in the advert to solve a particular problematic shot where a character needed removing and mokey saved them from having to create a clean plate by hand saving valuable time and money. "We were talking to our reseller Tekserve who told us about mokey and after downloading the Learning Edition we soon realised we knew immediately that this was a new and unique tool," said Jason Cacioppo, owner of Subvoyant.
Peerless
Peerless Camera Company, the London based post production house, purchased mokey in August 2006 for use in the 21st James Bond movie “Casino Royale”. An important part of London’s Peerless Camera visual effects workflow, mokey allows operators to perform undetectable wire and rig removals with accuracy and speed that would be difficult or even impossible by hand.
Time-Slice Films
Artists at UK-based Time-Slice Films have perfected the technique of rotoscoping some of the most challenging archival footage using Imagineer’s motor on two recent high profile television broadcasts. On the BBC TV show “Duet Impossible”, today’s pop stars digitally perform duets with some of the biggest names in music history. The results have created unique new musical collaborations such as: Roy Orbison & Westlife, Dusty Springfield & Sugababes and Lulu & McFly.
VillageFX
Deon was asked to do the near-impossible task of removing the beads of sweat from the forehead and face of the talent.
