Very cool compositing!
Also, I couldn’t help but notice they’re playing Settlers of Catan. That’s a damn good board game!
I’ve never heard of that game, but you’ve got a hell of an eye, I couldn’t tell what they were playing.

The game board for Settlers of Catan is made up of a bunch of arranged hexagon areas. If you’ve played it before, it’s easy to recognize.
Ok, back on topic now…
wow, it’s realy REALISTIC ! very good job
Nice!
Shadows, movement all look good!
Youv’e encouraged me to go back and try ICARUS again, You’re right, big learning curve but a fantastic tool. It’s a shame they took it private without having a “Student” or "“trial” package. It was on “Free” for non-public use.
There was recent mention in the Elysian threads of another camera tracking software called Voodoo. I have not tried it yet but there is a Windows and Linux version.

I’d appreciate feedback on it for those whoe test it.
great animation! i like the little robot. can you show a pic of just it?
WOW! that is amazing! how did you get the cardboard flap on the box to bounce?
settlers of catan… i hate that game. I call it settlers of satan. 
but i still play it anyway since a lot of my friends love it. sigh.
Nice work effstops! Very cool. Your camera matching and 3d animation are excellent!
I’d love to test it … if the links worked 
Are you sure those are the right URL’s for Voodoo?
Never mind – IE couldn’t handle it but Firefox downloaded it without any problems at all.
Thanks for the linkage.
Man you tracked the shoulder shot BY HAND?!?
Thats what I call meticulous! Must’ve taken ages. You must be somekind of superhuman robodude.
Haha, yup. I did it in After Effects, though, which made it easier. The camera in Blender didn’t move at all, and I keyframed the robot to move with the shoulder as well as I could. It was easier than you might think cause the robot’s legs were flailing about, and left a sizable margin for error. 
But it took me like 6 hours, I’d say. Wasn’t too easy…

And guys… the box… come on… notice you can’t see the bottom corner when it moves???
This is grand man… I’d love to do stuff like this!!
