"There’s nothing I can’t track with mocha. It’s stable, it’s fast and it integrates really well into my entire VFX workflow; it’s an incredible time saver!

I’ve worked with many tracking tools over the years, but as the shots get more and more sophisticated and tricky, point trackers get shaky. There’s nothing I can’t track with mocha."

Andrew Satinoff, at North Avenue Post, Atlanta, USA

"mocha has increased our efficiency for tracking and compositing in Avid DS enormously. What used to take one to two hours to get a decent track now takes less than fifteen minutes. mocha has already paid for itself in less than one month."

Danny Princz, at Exposed Ideas

 
·
"I swear by After Effects for so much of my design work, however it’s not an ideal solution for tracking. mocha-AE from Imagineer is the perfect companion to After Effects"

Scott Roy, at Serious Robots, North Carolina, USA

"mocha rocks!"

Jacob Owens, at Filet Post Production Services, Nova Scotia, Canada

"motor freed up a bunch of my evenings and weekends - no more manual rotoscoping!"

Deon Roux, at Village FX Studios, Australia

"My client gave me this particular shot as a challenge. They didn't believe I could do it and were scheduling another shoot. A day later, I told them they'd have to try harder if they wanted to challenge me :-)
The shot consisted of 1 very sweaty man in Medium Close Up Shot. He started out dry but as the film rolled, the lights got to him. Because his dialogue was from the heart and not scripted, there were no second takes. Enter mokey - I removed half of his face and replaced it with segments of his dry face and a hand retouched frame. To add to the degree of difficulty, he was wearing glasses and using a lot of facial expressions. A few exported mattes, tracking data and some patch clips straight into Fusion and the job was 99% done."

"I just want to say one thing to the developers at Imaginer System… Your planar tracker rocks!! I'm constantly impressed with how precise it is. I've compared it with The Foundry's tools on some hard shots… and it's just the best I've seen so far."

Steven Blasini, visual effects supervisor at BFX Imageworks, Los Angeles, USA

"motor will completely pay for itself with the first project"

"monet enables us to just say 'yes' on set more often," he says. "If you are supervising and you know that budgets are tight, you usually avoid any risky moving shots and order that the camera be locked off. Now, however, we are happy to offer the DoP a bit more freedom and do the tracking later with monet."

Tim Wharton, Technical Director at Rushes, London

 
·
"monet integrated well into the workflow of our Discreet based suites, more so than other trackers"

Christopher Thorp, DS Nitris Operator at The Post Production Office

 
·
"monet's 2D tracker is simply second-to-none. It gives stable, usable tracks much more quickly than I can get from any other package, especially when there are no tracking markers or the objects being tracked have heavy motion blur. The compositing tools allow me to generate highlight and shadow passes and add a level of realism that would have taken much longer to achieve on my DS. This raises the quality of the result without costing the client extra and also makes me look good!"

Rick Gross, Director of Engineering at Ascent Media Management Services

 
·
"Our Ascent Media Group facilities in the UK utilise mokey for restoration, and after their experiences with the software we chose to incorporate it into our workflow,mokey has unique capabilities that enhance the MTI toolbox"

Paul DeMars, General Manager at hdstudios

 
·
"The efficiency of those two applications is way beyond anything that the major non-linear manufacturers have accomplished to date," says Paul DeMars, General Manager of hdstudios. "mokey and monet provide us with opportunities to come up with new visual ideas for our clients that would not be simple processes on our existing equipment. Myself and my operators are very excited about that."

Michael Scharff, Senior Editor, The Weather Channel after seeing monet demo.

"Wow! I'm impressed!"

"I am completely blown away by mokey!!!"
"I have to say that after years of working as an effects artist on many platforms I am completely blown away by mokey!!! What would have probably taken me hours or a full day to accomplish using AE, Shake or Flame, mokey does in minutes. I mean, I completely removed the man from the 'bluecoat' clip in about 10 minutes!!! WOW!!!"

Benoit Servais Paprika Post Production, Belgium

"With monet, package replacement is a pleasure!"

Rus Wetherell, Capital FX

 
·
"monet and mokey compliment each other very well giving us the tools we need to finish the job, on time and on budget. As we are quite often the last stage before bulk printing and distribution into the cinemas our deadlines are always very tight and always non-negotiable. We rarely have the luxury of trying out different methods to solve a problem and as clients don't usually attend, the first time they might see it would be on film, so we need quality and accuracy first time around."

Jeroen Schulte, Head of 2D, Condor

 
·
"monet is on the cutting-edge, and beyond it in some area."

Steve Boag, co owner, Cineimage

 
·
"We have opted to buy both applications because from the demonstration we saw it was immediately clear that not only would mokey be a huge labour saving device for the correction of problem shots, but would also improve the final result. monet also impressed us with the ability to help correct shots that previously would be extremely tough without the tools that it offers and will also open up new avenues of work for us."

Bob George, DriveThruTV

 
·
"mokey and monet are really important developments in the ‘desktop video post production’ revolution because they allow more people to do more of the specialist work that in the past required expensive equipment and more specialised artists. It combines really well with Combustion and After Effects to allow you to do work that was only achievable on a Flame or Inferno."

Emery Wells, Senior Composite Artist, OffHollywood Digital

 
·
"I was really blown away with the accuracy of the track in monet. We tried several different tracking methods before calling Imagineer Systems to see if monet was up to the job."

"Our point trackers were having a very difficult time deatling with extreme perspective shifting in the planes we were trying to track. After exhausting our in-house resources, we were facing a manual track to get the shots done. with our deadline dangerously close, we needed another method."

"monet doesn't even need tracking markers as it is a planar tracker and it locked solid to our planes retaining reflections on the glass and all. It would have been close to impossible to track these shots without monet"

David M. Blum Catalyst FX, Los Angeles

 
·
"Using mokey has changed my attitude about fixing wires, scratches, and unwanted rigging from shots. The mokey results are consistent and effective regardless the resolution. The scalability of their software lets me insert into our production pipeline without needing to change our process structure. Most importantly, the support from Imagineer Systems is second to none. They are prompt, helpful, and never sleep. Though removal is not always complete, it is always effective and saves me at least 30% on every shot I've used mokey on."

Tony Bellamy, Product Manager at Quantel

 
·
"Imagineer have taken the lead with mokey and this initiative and have provided a really useful feature bringing great workflow benefits to mokey and generationQ users alike. Imagineer’s smart thinking is in synergy with Quantel's generationQ team-working strategy delivering real collaboration possibilities on projects."

Aviv Yaron, 2D Technical Director Cinesite Digital Studios(Europe)

"We have been following mokey's development closely since it's launch and with its new stabalization and grain modules it confirms that the mokey team is focused on producing a valuable tool for high-end post production. I have also seen a few yet-to-be announced, very exciting, technology demonstrations - broadening mokey's initial applications. The team at Imagineer certainly understand the high end requirements and the constraints implied by different algorithmic solutions."

Bruce Steele, Director of Visual Effects Glassworks, London

 
·
"This is the cleverest software I've seen in years. Mokey has taken a radically new approach, the software is revolutionary. What you get back is a colour-corrected, clean background, a colour-corrected fill and an accurate matte, even if the camera is hand-held. "

Roland Brown, Director of Engineering MPC, London

 
·
"mokey appears to be a dream come true as it will revolutionise shooting and post-production techniques. The need for hand removal of wires and rigs will be minimised if not completely eliminated. It has all the marks of being an amazing piece of software. "

Richard Stammers, Visual Effects Supervisor, and Davie Johnston, Technical Operations Manager, from MPC, London.

"...mokey was able to generate a solid matte. This could not have been achieved through conventional chroma or difference keying..."

Tim Spitzer, explaining why Imagineer was awarded the NAB Pick Hit 2002 for its 'technical achievement in the development of mokey' by Millimeter Magazine

 
·
"If you've got a panning shot where you're following a car as it goes down the road, you draw an outline or a tangent to the path of the car and then use a crop tool to encircle the vehicle," explains judge Tim Spitzer. "[mokey] does an analysis to figure out what it would look like without the car there. Basically, you press a button after it renders, and it gets rid of the car."
"For doing rig removal or retouching, it's remarkable," continues Spitzer. "You could do something in 10 minutes that might take you one to three days to accomplish in an editing environment such as Inferno. It's just a neat little thing, which just works."

Jesus Martinez, Kincine, Spain

"We have been using mokey since it was first released - it's a fantastic product and we are using it in most of our productions. Currently we are using it on Jose Antonio Escriva's new film 'Arroz y Tartana'. The film is set in 19th Century Spain and mokey is being used to create mattes for compositing. mokey is a great alternative to hours of rotoscoping!"

Jill Burrichter, Freelancer in Los Angeles

"mokey was used on several projects I worked on as a freelancer at Sony's Electronic Media Department. One was a blood removal involving a camera move on a persons face, another required an object to be removed from a long, difficult shot involving motion, perspective and lighting changes. The experience showed that mokey definitely can reduce the work involved in these time consuming aspects of post production and made the short deadlines achievable.
I especially want to point out that the support from the developers has been fantastic.
As I continue down my path to master this program, I am really pleased to see that a free learning edition will now be available as there are many freelancers like myself who really will benefit from a deep understanding of mokey. "

Nicolas Sarudiansky, Senior Editor, MTV On-Air Promos

"It is pretty amazing what mokey is able to do. We had both film and video footage from different sources and we wanted to key off the musicians to place them all in one location. mokey's ability to generate a cleanplate clip of the background and a key for the people in the foreground is simply stunning. We have been following the development of mokey for some time, and with the release of v3 out, we felt that it was now mature enough to integrate into our toolset. After being talked through the basic concepts and getting a taste for what mokey can do I was able to pick it up and generate results very quickly."

René Rask, Compositor - Duckling, Denmark

"monet is so addictive!"

Matt Osbourne, Keyframes Design, Decatur, GA

"The planar tracking technology of monet is a significant improvement over the standard point trackers found in most high-end software."
