Part 2 of VFXWorld’s Watchmen coverage

Deconstructing Watchmen — Part 2, at VFXWorld.

Decapitation

I’m trying to do two effects. Both take place at night.

1: A man’s head is knocked up into the air by a second man. Camera pans up to follow it. the head falls from the sky onto a different set.

2: Character one runs toward character two. Character two sticks his arm out, character one runs into character two’s arm. the head is left behind while the body keeps going.

Thanks

How do I render separate passes in Silhouette?

I have 3 objects, each roto’d. I want to render them out in the same file, with each object in a separate color channel.

?

Thanks!

Water EFX Shoot

A post production company in Los Angeles is looking for an established VFX artist that can create a 5 sec EFX shoot of water receding in a reservoir lake. Will need wide shoot of the lake and close up shoots of water lapping on the shores. This will be composited with a 2d lake shoot.
Please have online samples only and attach link to the reel.
Best Judah.

We have a pretty exciting lineup again this month.

Avid will demo their completely new workflow and show a path from editorial to finishing. This process involves dailies transcoded via Metafuze or RedRushes to DNxHD, HD editorial in Media Composer with a full finish in native R3D in Avid DS. Don’t miss this exclusive pre-NAB workflow demo.

This month’s door prize is the latest Avid Media Composer Software V3.5 courtesy of Avid Technology. This $2,495 professional editor is available for both Windows XP and Mac OSX (computer not included).

Pictorvision Inc will be demonstrating the use of the RED ONE in their Wescam gyro stabilized aerial camera systems, as well as giving a basic primer on what you need know when planning for aerial shooting.

Camera Essentials
will show the RED ONE ‘Desert’ dust and light rain cover as well as the heavy duty RED ONE Weather Protector.

Director Sandy Collora and DP Ed Gutentag who met last year at RED Los Angeles User Group will be screening scenes from their feature film “Hunter Prey” at the Members’ Showcase.

Scott Snare will moderate the Owners’ Circle. This forum will provide the RED ONE owners with an opportunity to discuss various RED related topics in person. The Owners’ Circle is open to all RED LAUG members whether or not they actually own a RED ONE.

We may have a couple more announcements in the coming weeks.

BOTTIN

It’s not out of order to call something “Italo” if the guy’s actually from Italy, right? Italian based producer Bottin comes through with his latest offering, “No Static”, on stateside based record label, Italians Do It Better. The now well established label– run by New Jersey based selector du jour, Mike Simonetti & Johnny Jewel of Glass Candy/Chromatics fame– finally lives up to its namesake with a tune and accompanying video that’s so “Viva Italia, 1982″, it’s only slightly edged out by Giorgio Moroder’s moustache.
