Copenhagen-based facility, Duckling, purchased monet early 2005 and have since used the tool on around 80% of all their commercials projects.

Most recently monet was used in a project for Friendly Films to track elements into screens in a 45 second commercial for "Expert". The commercial consisted of around 20 scenes, all with one or more screens into which elements had to be tracked and monet reduced the tracking time from an estimated 2 days to half a day, allowing the project to be completed in 1.5 days, according to compositor Per Mørk-Jensen at Duckling.

"We were under enormous time pressure on this project and had to work through the night. Our workflow consisted of me selecting the difficult shots for tracking in monet, then exporting tracking data to Shake. For the easier shots we used our Flame, which Rasmus Linden was operating."

"With monet we have an enormous advantage in terms of tracking. The flexibility you get from having a spline interface to define the tracking area is a life saver and there is simply no other tool that handles fast motion like monet," according to Per. "In this project we for example had a 180° pan with just a blue screen as the target and several shots with less motion but also very little information to track on. monet handled these with ease. Every operator knows what a nightmare it is when you don't have 4 points to track and monet puts an end to these nightmares with its planar tracking approach."

"monet has been a great investment for us. As we learned to use the tool it expanded our creative possibilities and we are now training more operators on it as a result. I have no hesitation in recommending monet as a tool that every compositor must have."
