-Tracking certain areas of the face and applying the rotopaint tracked to those offending areas, the problem is the face moves in a very elastic way (as she looks from left to right) so 2 point, even 4 point tracking doesn’t look right. (Plus tracking features is hard when she’s moving her head).
-Tried separating and bluring just the red channel to soften her skin, however as it is a closeup, her whole face looks a little out of focus now.
Any other tips, tricks, ideas on how to approach this?
I tried a dewrinkler gizmo but it seems to be taking the approach I used by bluring out the red channel, any other ideas?
Cheers,

What are the challenges to using that kind of technique in terms of matchmoving, compositing, etc. Thoughts?
Being creative people, do you wish you had a little more input and involvement in tasks previous to yours? Even if it is working to someone else’s vision of style or design.
I know that Compositors make everything look good and bring it all together, which I imagine to be very satisfying, but do you ever wish you did some of the modelling, lighting, texturing, animation and so on?
I’m just trying to gage if I want to work for a large or small company.
The question came into my head, so I thought I’d ask – just curious I suppose.
The shot has a camera move and the wire moves a lot so it was hard to get one image remove the wire and use it as a mask after… There are 2 guys in the elevator in the shot.
What would be a good way to do such a shot? I’m new to wire removal and I’m very lost. If needed I can provide more info about the shot.
The Sorcerer’s Apprentice
For The Sorcerer’s Apprentice,visual effects supervisor John Nelson oversaw more than 1200 shots featuring plasma ball fights, a Chinese dragon, car chases, magical creatures and the re-creation of the famous Disney Fantasia sequence. fxguide looks at some of the key work by the two lead facilities, Asylum and Double Negative.
The visual effects of Predators
For the 2010 film Predators, director Nimrod Antal and producer Robert Rodriguez set out to maintain the appeal of the 1987 original film by employing similar designs and relying on both practical and digital effects. fxguide takes a look at the visual effects work by Troublemaker Digital and Hybride.
I’m a beginner, I would like to do an open ground explosion in a live footage. Someone please explain me what are the steps involved in this.
Like footage selection, tracking, compositing. In what order should I do this work? Please some leave your comments.
P.S I will create the explosion and shattering in Houdini. I will use Nuke to composite.
