Thing Pit

Posted in: art, chaos, General, guerrilla, projection, taras hrabowsky, thing pit, traveling


\’th`ing\ p`1t\
Noun
An entity, an idea, or a quality perceived, known, or thought to have its own existence.

Thing Pit is a traveling guerrilla art projection by artist Taras Hrabowsky. It’s also a beautifully composited project full of crushing decay, fluid destruction and complete insanity. Much can be said about the possibility of a black hole universe (man made or not). What Thing Pit attempts to create is…

a. a concealed danger or difficulty
b. guerilla projection made in opposition to a static view of our surroundings
c. a re-presentation of a coming together / an envirotron of differentiation
d. the commonly overlooked exultation in between

More artistic visual than commercial value, Thing Pit uses the technology to disorient, distort and confuse the viewer into a state of endless bliss.

Look for Thing Pit on a city wall near you!

I can see forever!

Defocus = banding

Posted in: NUKE from The Foundry
Hi,
I know banding is prone to appear when defocusing or bluring, but I hoped Nuke’s internal 32-bit processing would help…
It doesn’t. When defocusin a BG plate even on the highest setting the render will exhibit banding.

I tried doing several defocuses one after the other, adding some grain in between them. The result is optically worst (closer to a blur, not a proper lens defocus) and the banding is much worst…

I am working on Red footage already graded to ProRes 422HQ (10-bit quicktime).
I know file sequences are great, but break our workflow, and I couldn’t get ProRes 4444 not to shift the image gamma. I don’t think that’s the problem anyway.

Any ideas or workarounds?
I must submit tomorrow!
Meanwhile I’m blaming the h264 compression for it but the online is screwed if I can’t solve it…:eek:
Thanks!!!!
