www.naughtydog.comAbout our company…
Naughty Dog is the developer of critically acclaimed and top-selling titles including the Crash Bandicoot franchise, Jak and Daxter franchise and Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune. We’re a relatively small team with a highly decentralized and collaborative work environment – we value feedback about any aspect of our game development from any of our team members. We’re a tightly knit group and you can frequently find us participating in yoga sessions in the office, spending lunch playing out on the court basketball, foosball in our lunchroom or around town in our frequent group evenings out. Since Naughty Dog is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sony Computer Entertainment America, we also get a lot of the perks that comes from being in the Sony family – movie screenings on the Sony Pictures lots and discounts on electronics, music, movies and PlayStation hardware and software. Of course, you just can’t beat our location. Naughty Dog is based near the ocean – and beaches – in Santa Monica, California, where beautiful weather and fair temperatures grace us year-round.

Hey everyone
I am currently working on a short clip that requires me to rotoscope an actor out of the footage. I am am using after effects and a wacom tablet. I am finding it just a little tedious having to move each point for every frame(i know thats what rotoscoping basically is but i have heard a lot of poeple saying AE isnt all that great at it). What i want to do is be able to draw a new mask every frame. Because the first frame has a great looking mask that was drawn with the tablet and i wanted to just be able to do that for every frame, not move the points. Is there a program out there that can achieve this?or is not even possible? Oh and i also tried a filmstrip in photoshop and erasing the background but that is worse:(
Thanks in advance

Is this possible? I am tracking a vertical nodal pan and there is no movement in the x axis, but because of warping on the entire plate from plastic screens in the foreground, I am getting choppy translations in the x axis. I am applying a clean plate to this shot and don’t have to worry too much about the y movement because i will be adding a displacement map to the tracked clean plate using AE. So, I just need some Y axis tracking with the x axis tracking being 0. Actually now that I think about it, I can probably just hand track the Y movement, but for my own general knowledge I would like to know if I can just obtain Y axis data from the tracker. Thanks ahead of time!

I’ve been in after effects for a long time and became lazy and dependent on plugs for this type of work. After some time Nuke I can’t go back to AE so…

I started on a girl’s "makeup" today and would love any input you may have. I shared an EXR and my beginning script. I hoped to share and learn any great tips you guys may have and care to share.

1. There maybe a better way to get a skin key
2. It seemed that a masked median node worked fairly well but there maybe a prettier way for this
3. A subtle skin tinted and masked glow

I haven’t worked on the eyes yet, but this open game! Let’s see your chops!

Hi guys,
First post! I am setting up a 3d scene in Fusion, it’s all very simple – just some planes at different distances and a simple camera sweep. All it well, but I’m going for a simple fogging-whilst-receeding effect. I was wondering it there were a simple way to do this in a 3D scene in Fusion, or, failing that, there is a way of essentially making a z-depth in Fusion based on a 3d camera, which I could then plug into the Deep Pixel fog (or, if I’m feeling cheap, simply screen over the top out my render!)

Any ideas? Thanks very much!

Dan
