Hi everyone

I’m currently in the midst of a career change and looking to move into 2D compositing (I started out in 3D animation and web design)

This is my first attempt at a Roto/Paint showreel.

I’m going to be applying for jobs in London. Do you think my reel is good enough for at least a runner position? Or am I just kidding myself? :p

There are 4 shots at the moment and I’m wary of keeping demo reels as short as possible. But do you think adding another shot or 2 would be a good idea? Any comments would be much appreciated.

I used Shake for the roto/paint work.

Please note there is no audio at the moment. I will be adding some music and my contact details when I start sending out to prospective employers.

Hi,

I have a 30fps, interlaced NTSC sequence, and i want to use all the fields. So I’m trying to generate a frame from every field: from a 30 frames interlaced sequence to a 60 frames progressive sequence

I duplicate the frames with Retime and use the FieldSelect node to separate each field, then I put each field together, one field after the other, using a switch and a simple expression (!fmod(frame,2)). I also make a slight translate of 0.5 pixel for the odd frames to avoid a slight jump between even and odd frames. Then i reformat with no filtering
(see nuke script below)

I’ve downloaded the DFielder Gizmo, that allows to do a Fields to Frame separation. I expand the group and I can see that it uses a TimeWarp and a FrameRange node before deinterlacing, but i’m not able to reproduce that solution.

What is the best solution? Should i use the Defield node from the Tinder Genarts, or generate the 60 frames outside of Nuke?

Thanks for any suggestion,
marco
