Hasta La Motion!

I’m just wondering if this guy I might be working with in the near future is full of shit…He has stated on his companies web site that he has worked on a Harry Potter film.
A search of IMDB with his name yielded nothing.
He does have form with doing this before claiming he worked on something for Frank Oz, a check of the end credits didn’t have his name.
I figure if he is lying about the work he has done, its no giant leap for him to lie about payment.

Toronto: June 3, 2010… Having seen a tremendous surge in the use of stereoscopic elements in VFX production since the beginning of 2010, eyeon Software today announced their latest licensing initiative, Stereoscopic Site Licensing. With the imminent release of Fusion 6.1 and related product updates, eyeon has dedicated significant resources to create leading stereoscopic pipelines.

“Collectively, the industry has been more than a little surprised at the global level of interest in stereoscopic production; this was very apparent at NAB and other recent industry events. Our team began working closely with several clients to determine how we could best support this developing market. The introduction of site licensing with Fusion and Rotation 6.1’s new GPU stereo workflow is exactly what studios need.” ~ Joanne Dicaire, Director of Sales and Marketing

Recent Fusion architectural advancements have created the ability to easily gear up for the high demand of stereoscopic production. Designed to take full advantage of today’s super computing power, the new Stereoscopic Site Licensing provides studios with the future roadmap to low cost GPU rendering. The render farm queue is no longer hindering the production process. Gone are the days of waiting in line, render locally and view your work in seconds instead of hours or days.

Rotation 6.1 couples with Fusion 6.1 to introduce new tools for rotoscoping, keying, color management, and plugin support. The expanded capabilities are specifically targeted for shot prepping, touchup, tracking, and depth map generating for stereo conversion. Together, a site license of Fusion, Rotation, and Render Nodes gives artists the ability to be very creative and work far more effectively. The artists are able to render locally and view their shots; submitting their finals in the least amount of time, eliminating cost prohibitive wait times and significantly reducing ongoing shot revisions.

this might be a very simple question.
I like to add grain to blurry area of Zdepth. similar to the to"lens tool" in photoshop. where you can add the Zdepth in alpha and add grain on the fly as well
In Nuke I used a shuffle copy to get my Zdepth to work. but the grain tool in Nuke doesn’t have an alpha feed in it ?
thanks
