who's a geek? That would probably be me. Look at ICARUS, a camera tracking program produced by the University of Manchester. It's free for personal use, about $1000 a seat for professional use. You'll have to google search for it - "icarus, univeristy of manchester" Take your video footage shot with an uncalibrated camera, feed it into ICARUS, let the program chew on it overnight, and it spits out exact x,y,z camera coordinates for every frame. ICARUS spits out data to LightWave, MAX, MAYA and .TXT files which are human readable. I've used it with MAX and it works great. ...and you don't have to pay for it 'till you start making money with it.
