Passion Pictures’ Pete Candeland: Coke Zero “Happy Kingdom”
Posted in: coca-cola, coke zero, General, happy kingdom, medieval, passion pictures, Pete CandelandBuilt atop the repertoire of his work with Passion Pictures for the Gorillaz, director Pete Candeland’s buzz reached a fever pitch with the indelible Rock Band cinematic for The Beatles.
In “Happy Kingdom” for Coke Zero, Candeland delivers the goods again and lines the court with a rich cast of characters plucked straight from medieval times.

Global Warming
Posted in: GalleryI recently made this small viral clip on Global Warming for World Climate Community. Unfortunately there was no economics involved and it is made in a matter of a couple of days, so bare with the SFX part.
Oh and I almost forgot. Send a lot of love and admiration to Alexa Anasuya and Christoph Drobig, the two amazing actors that agreed upon spending a day with me and Eva Kamsteeg (Hair and makeup) to do this clip. They are amazing…
And of course the good people at Kaiserbrand who let me spend the nights on their machinery, because my own was clogged away somewhere in Copenhagen.

I’m going through the excellent Gnomon Nuke training DVDs to create pan-and-tile scenes. However, the DVDs are a little old they’re using Nuke 4.
In the tutorial they connect the Axis node directly to the 3D card, but I believe in Nuke 5 the axis can only be connected through a TransformGeo node?
Tell me if this is right?

Tracking question
Posted in: Matchmoving SoftwareHi all,
I have a bit of a noob question concerning some footage I’m tracking in SynthEyes. The source footage is 1080p but I will be comping it at 1280 x 720. It seems to me that it would be best to track it at full-res to get the best detail but I was wondering if that would cause any issues once I exported to Maya. It’s maintaining the same aspect ratio to the best of my knowledge so I don’t think it should make a difference but I’m just getting started with all this so any thoughts or suggestions you guys have would be great! 🙂
Thanks!
