Transform (Xf) Problem
Posted in: Digital Fusion / DFX+Hello guys,
I have the following problem.
In my composition i have the Background & Foreground working excelent with the tracking and everything. I made the mask reflects for the FG car and connected to transform to apply the same tracking of my car, the problem is , that my transform cut the mask when the tracking unstabilize it. I want extend my SIZE in X a little, but not changing the MASK information, that means not resize my mask.

The schedule of speakers for F5 is now online!
A brief run-down: Things get started both days around 11am and run until the early evening, with lunch and afternoon breaks for you to grab a drink from the bar and mingle a bit.
By the way, our remaining tickets are moving along at a pretty good clip. I see a sell out on the horizon…

Digital Domain Campaigns for Lexus
Posted in: Digital Domain, General, Lexus, live action, visual effects
Hot off the heels of Benjamin Button’s Oscar success, Digital Domain’s commercial division shows us what they’ve been up to with a three-spot campaign for the 2010 Lexus RX. They’ve been getting plenty of airtime on TV, but in case you’ve missed them, take a look:
The spots were directed by Carl Erik Rinsch and had some top notch talent on board with DP Claudio Miranda (nominated for an Oscar for cinematography) and production designer Donald Graham Burt (won the Oscar for set design).
The first two spots are filled with a beautiful blend of visual effects and live action, while the third spot is mostly live action with a sparse graphic touch. Some of my favorite moments from “Assembled” are the conveyor belt moving almost snake-like over the black leather couch and the pull-out shot of the car being assembled by robotic arms on the street.
“City” has its own share of visually rich shots and easily convinces you that a whole city of cars and buildings were literally hoisted up for your traffic-free pleasure.
If you haven’t already had your fill of car commercials, take some time to browse Digital Domain’s ever-growing library of 45+ automotive spots in the Advertising / Automotive section of their website.
If you’re a fan of Digital Domain’s work, remember that Ed Ulbrich, Executive Vice President and President of Commercials Division, will be speaking at F5.

[NEWS=”http://www.cgnews.com/wp-content/uploads/superfad_visa_go_thumb.jpg”]19005[/NEWS]Superfad recently contributed visual effects, design and editing to the ‘More People Go With Visa’ campaign, Visa’s first global advertising effort. The campaign celebrates that every day, people everywhere are on the go – whether satisfying basic needs or fulfilling lifelong dreams. When people are ready to go, Visa wants to them to go with a better way to pay – a way for them to go in control – confidently, securely and conveniently with Visa. In the United States, two national television spots – “Let’s go” and “Aquarium” – premiered on March 4 during “American Idol” on FOX.
“Let’s go,” which will introduce the campaign, portrays an optimistic view of life that focuses on the possibilities of a new day – from stepping outside your comfort zone to challenging yourself to do things differently – and positions Visa as the brand to help consumers achieve their dreams and ambitions.
Visa’s international markets will launch with a television commercial named “Gofesto.” The spot, which will be customized by each Visa region, takes viewers on a journey across the globe showing different people from different places enjoying what the world has to offer – from experiencing the great outdoors to taking simple trips to the supermarket.
The spot reminds cardholders that life is not about collecting possessions, but more importantly, about collecting experiences.
