Visual Effects behind the scenes DVD
Posted in: The PadI have been looking for a DVD that shows how visual effects are used in movies today and how visual effects have developed over the years. Kind of like a behind the scenes dvd which uses well known movies as examples and show the most common techniques like greenscreening, rotoscoping, matchmoving, CG and so on. Not a tutorial based dvd, but more like an extensive behind the scenes or a documentary. Does anyone know if such a dvd exists? Recommendations?
Thanks!

Lens Distortion
Posted in: Beginners TalkHi,
I was wondering if someone can help me out. I shot on an Panasonic HVX 200 and I was zoomed all the way out. I was hoping if there is a way that I can fix lens distortion. If its in a tracking program I have syntheyes and matchmover however I am more comfortable with syntheyes. I am uploading the first sequence of an image sequence.
Thanks for the help

Ok, So i wanted to get everyones feed back on how they recreate shadows and reflections for people shot on a greenscreen and are running AWAY from the camera.
Since there feet or moving away in z space you cant just take their mattes, flip and skew them, and call it a day. I usually end up rotoing their legs individually and key framing each leg separately so they always have contact when the real foot hits the floor.
what do you guys do? there has to be a more accurate way then how I am doing it. Thanks in advance.

Space shot of earth.
Posted in: Work in Progress (WiP)Hey all,
Im working on previs for a music video. The shot I’m working on is a shot of the earth from space. Right now its just a still, but plan on adding animation when I get the lighting down.

360° shot title compositing
Posted in: NUKE from The Foundryhey guys
gotta be honest, so far I only used nuke to do greenscreen compositing and wire removals so far…
now I was asked to help out a on a mate’s short for the title sequence.
the sequence is a 360° shot of a living room made with a spider dolly. he wants to have the titles composited to stuff in the room, like the walls, furniture, etc.
I was thinking on doing that in nuke since it doesnt really work out in after effects because of the distortion from the wide angle lens. but now I kinda realized I have no idea how to do that in nuke, haha… so, anyone care for a lil start up help? would be greatly appreciated! 🙂
cheers!

hey guys,
i´ve got a HP elitebook with
Intel Core 2 Quad-Core Q9000 4x 2.00GHz,
4 gig of Ram (memtest:OK),
Nvidia Quadro fx 2700 M,
fujitsu hardrive 7200r(test OK),
OS: Win7 64bit
nuke 6.x.x
so, these values are a lot better than my old desktop, but the nuke 6 interface is much worse than before!! it´s running soo slow that it´s no more fun. modifying bezier-handlepoints in the viewer, painting with rotopaint or sometimes even moving nodes in the script. nearly always there is a heavy delay. does´t matter if it´s 2k dpx, exr or Pal and the scipt is only 10 nodes large 🙁
the guys from HP are not really helpfull.
has anyone of you a comparable configuration of notebook that is running fine with nuke? or is there a known issue with one of these components?
thanks a lot…!!

TV Screen Effect Gizmo
Posted in: NUKE from The FoundryHey
I’ve been working on a CRT TV screen filter gizmo in my spare time for a while now. I just started a new show that will put it to the test and I wanted to throw it out there to get some ideas before I commit it to production.
I know that at one point every compositor has had to make this effect, and I know there are about a zillion ways to achieve it. So I’m looking for all the creative additions / methods / efficiency tweaks I can find… at very least maybe some of you will get use out of it, and maybe together we can make it much better.
I call it fizzle. Let me know your thoughts.
