hey guys
I was wondering how to set up a gizmo that can despill green or blue screen footage by using defocus background as the replacement method. Tommy138 posted his despill gizmo not so long ago; his technique was to substract the red and blue channel from the green, the result was like using compliment color in primatte.
I want to create a gizmo that can replicate primatte method by using defocus background
can any one help please
thank you

I have been working on a Jurassic Park fan film for just under 3 years now, and we have finally filmed the last bit of footage we needed. I have had numerous animators over the past year and a number of them have quit on me (mutiple reasons, mainly down to them not having the time). I currently have one animator, Bruno (who created the 6 pack in JP dinosaur clones you can see on TurboSquid). He’s incredible – who’s knows the models better than him, right?
But I feel the workload may be too high for him, and I am in need of another animator to help Bruno along the way. I’ve delayed the film too much – I’ve set a date for next year and I would really like to see the film actually get completed. These 2 and a half years have to mean something.
Bruno’s dinosaurs work in 3DS Max. The animations created would need to be composited into the video I have and tracked if the camera moves. So far what I’ve seen from Bruno is just incredible – I’m sure there are others out there as skilled as him.
Anyway, if there is anybody interested please reply for more information or contact me seperately. The Jurassic Park community are awaiting this fan film.
If you would like to see some footage from the film so far, and a few update videos I have done, check them out on my YouTube page:

Thank you very much for reading and I hope somebody is interested. I didn’t want to discuss payment outloud but this is something that can be discussed separately. 🙂

Pro Juice TV Series – We want your work!!
Posted in: The PadHey Everyone,
Were going into Pre-Production on the first TV series of Pro Juice and we need your help. We might be based in Melbourne but were looking to the world for both content and broadcasters. Check out below how you can be involved.
Animators/Designers/Editors
Were looking for 12 animated stings to use throughout the series. What are stings? Well they can be anything you like. But basically theyre short (2-7 second) animations that we can use between segments to add some dynamism to the show and to show off the creative work of all you ‘guerrilla’ producers out there. We dont mind if its 2D, 3D, stop motion or cut-out animation. So long as its original, fresh and very cool.
Music Videos
Were on the lookout for 6 music videos to feature in the series. So if youve produced/directed/edited/animated a great music video lately, we want to see it. We want videos with great stories, striking visual effects, simple ideas or one-shot wonders.
Short Films / Experimental Works
Were also on the lookout for 6 short films or experimental videos to feature in the series. So if youve produced/directed/edited/animated a great video lately, we want to see it. We want videos with great stories, striking visual effects, simple ideas or one-shot wonders
What Else Do You Need To Know
For all the info you need and to check out Pro Juice online videos check out here:

Peace out.

I’m trying to set up a server side init.py file so all of our Nuke users can run scripts and find footage without it breaking on other systems. Were using all 3 operating systems.
I have no idea how to create the script but I have a feeling its something similar to this:
Code:
if nuke.env[WIN32] or nuke.env[WIN64]
then replace /mnt/volumes/xsan/
with //192.168.1.242/Xsan/
else replace /Volumes/Xsan/
with //192.168.1.242/Xsan/
if nuke.env[OSX]
then replace //192.168.1.242/Xsan/
with /Volumes/Xsan/
else replace /mnt/volumes/xsan/
with /Volumes/Xsan/
if nuke.env[LINUX]
then replace //192.168.1.242/Xsan/
with /mnt/volumes/xsan/
else replace /Volumes/Xsan/
with /mnt/volumes/xsan/
If anyone has some guidance it would be much appreciated.
