Blender 3D: Noob to Pro/Match Moving

Match moving is the art of merging 3D with live action film. If you are unfamiliar with the concept, take a look at the Wikipedia article on Match Moving

Blender cannot perform the match moving itself, you use a 3rd party tool to determine the camera position and the way it moves, then import this data into Blender. While there are many software tools to do this, this page references two free options: Voodoo and Icarus.

[edit] Icarus

Icarus is a discontinued University of Manchester project which can be used for non-commercial work. The download links from the official page no longer function, but Windows and MacOS X versions are available from this Icarus video tutorial by Colin Levy.

[edit] Voodoo

Voodoo is an actively developed free match mover available for Windows and Linux. Here is a tutorial on using Voodoo and Blender
