remove any unwanted object

Posted in: Digital Fusion / DFX+
Alright this one is quite tricky and since there is NO final solution for such a thing I thought we just share ideas and collect suggestions in this thread so others can look at the ideas and it might help.

So in my case I have to remove an unwanted shadow (camera shadow) which first moves around on the floor (while the camera is rotating around a car so there is NO static floor) and then the camera shadow touches the car and moves around on the surface of the car.
I personally have no REAL idea how to fix this and it’s frustrating as hell.

Any ideas welcome.

For anybody who wants to remove something in a static background: Just hold one frame (freeze frame) and remove the object with the paint node (clone) and then if say a character is overlapping this area just mask it, easy as pie.

Shake or Nuke?

Posted in: Training Discussions and Tips!
Eum, i was planning to learn shake, but it seems it’s only for a mac and i work with Windows.

Now i saw on many company sites that they request, shake OR Nuke knowledge as a compositor. And I’ am not that familiar with nuke.

Are their much differences on those two?

The movie is shot on RED during 3 days in may. The full movie (not in trailers) contains alot of VFX (compositing, animation, key, fire etc) and we have spent the last 3 months completing them all. Dealing with the problems/benefits of RED etc

Right now we are waiting for our appointment for grading and then it´s pretty much ready for the 35 print.

Desktop Wallpapers – Got Any?

Posted in: The Pad
Hi,

I’v been searching for a while for wallpapers. Does anyone know of any good links? I’m looking for those neat backgrounds, CG if possible, but not exaggerated.
I’v looked on DeviantArt and Google Images, I’v found a lot, but none that I’v really liked.

Thanks, 😀
Zevie
