A great walkthrough of the workflow and process of tracking a fisheye lens shot and compositing elements back in using After Effects, Syntheyes and Mocha from tutorial creator Impossible Engine.

Fisheye tracking and compositing workflow from Impossible Engine on Vimeo.

The biggest challenge we faced was definitely the lens distortion. We needed to track the footage in SynthEyes to solve for our 3D camera and place layers convincingly in the scene, as well as in Mocha to do all of the necessary screen replacement and rotoscoping. The issue here is that we needed the graphics and screens we inserted in the scene to match the lens distortion of the shot footage.
