Create Facing Ratio in Nuke

Does anyone know if there’s any way to create a facing ratio type shader within Nuke 6 or X? I’m trying to figure out a way to get some camera angle data/facing ratio from some cards within 3D space in nuke.

Any info appreciated! Thanks!

Kommitted Takes Continental Airlines Around The World in 30 Seconds

[NEWS=”http://www.cgnews.com/wp-content/uploads/cont_newstand_th.jpg”]24649[/NEWS]Kommitted Director Nathan McGuinness, in collaboration with the VFX pros at Asylum and the Kaplan Thaler Group, lensed a recent :30 promoting the ease of travel on Continental Airlines. The spot, which McGuinness shot in Buenos Aires, is the second he has done for the world-class airliner of late. Continental was so impressed with Features, a beautiful spot highlighting the company’s newest-in-the-industry jet fleet, that they rushed back to McGuinness to shoot their latest effort.

Seamless features the classic suit-and-tie, rolling-luggage businessman strolling down a vibrant urban street – only the street continually morphs, from New York to London to Shanghai and beyond, as the man strolls along it.

The effects – which are the masterwork of Asylum VFX Supervisor Paul O’Shea – seamlessly shift from one city and culture to the next. When the international traveler approaches a newspaper stand, the kiosk, along with the paper that he buys, the attendant he buys it from, and the currency he buys it with, fluidly morphs through a half dozen incarnations.

“Nathan is a special talent, able to impress clients in multiple ways,” notes Kommitted EP Marc Siegel. “His ability to shoot the live action with the VFX in the back of his head is almost like a sixth sense. Whatever it is, he is the rare talent who can draw clients in again and again by hitting their exact vision with perfectly orchestrated efforts.”

Production company Kommitted Films was founded in 2005 by Director Nathan McGuinness, the Academy Award and Bafta nominated Co-Founder/Creative Director of the VFX company, Asylum.

Shortly after, in 2006, veteran Executive Producer Marc Siegel was brought on to expand the directorial roster, feature film slate, and music video presence. Over a short time period, Kommitted Films has numerous recent high-profile spots for Target (peterson milla hooks/MN), Nintendo (Leo Burnett/Chicago) and Blackberry (RIM) (Arc Worldwide/Chicago).

Kommitted Films is uniquely positioned to direct and produce commercials, music videos, features and emerging media content for web and mobile platforms.

View D Compositors

View-D™ – Compositors
Prime Focus is looking for Shake, Nuke or Fusion compositors for a start throughout April and May 2010 at their new London View-D™ facility.
The successful applicants will be trained on View-D™ (a proprietary 2D-to-3D conversion process that allows filmmakers to efficiently create stereoscopic 3D movies from source material shot on virtually any medium) in either our Hollywood or London studios. On completion of the training you will work out of our new London View-D™ studio.
You should have a very keen eye for detail always striving for creative and technical excellence, a good understanding of photography, the interaction of light, and a track record with a number of film credits to your name. The ability to lead others would be an asset, as would Stereoscopic experience and knowledge of any other related packages.
All artists must have previous film compositing experience.
Salary: Competitive remuneration package with travel and lodgings paid for whilst abroad.
Location: Training in either Hollywood or London then based in London.
Applications to: sam.greenwood@primefocusworld.com
Application closing date: Ongoing.
About View-D™
View-D™ was developed under the guidance of Chris Bond, president and senior visual effects supervisor of Prime Focus VFX. "We’re very excited to be offering View-D™ to the industry," said Bond. "It’s about giving filmmakers the gift of time, because our approach allows the possibility of interactive creative sessions with our stereographers, similar to a DI session. Filmmakers can now shoot a movie with a single camera on film, without having to be locked into digital cameras and potentially complicated stereoscopic camera rigs. View-D™ allows conversions to fit into the post production schedule by critically shortening the length of time they take." Prime Focus have just completed the stereo conversion of Warner Bros. upcoming feature Clash of the Titans due for release on 2nd April, 2010.
