Memory Tapesâ âYes I Knowâ by Najork
Posted in: Eric Epstein, General, Memory Tapes, Najork, Yes I KnowMemory Tapes’ “Yes I Know” from Najork on Vimeo.
At first glance, a quiet, almost serene black and white video. Nevertheless, it’s packed with visual effects. Each image is carefully and subtly modified and contributes to the incredible atmosphere. With controlled changes in reality that take you into a dreamworld, you not only listen to the Memory Tapes, but you can see them as well.
What makes this video even more special is that it is not made with ââextensive 3D applications â no Flame, no Nuke, just After Effects. Two-dimensional camera tracking, puppet tool and a lot of layers make this ambitious project come to life.
Director Eric Epstein:
This would have been a good excuse to learn, but it’s hard to abandon one’s strengths. And with the emphasis on footage integration, much of the project was going to live in AE no matter what. I figured if the approach was unusual then at worst the results would come out looking unique. Realistic compositing was not top priority, so long as the motion seemed natural.
The main techniques I employed in this video were things I had played with before and had wanted to push further. That helped zero in on some images I wanted to create, but the feeling of the music was still the driving force behind everything.
On Najork.net you can find, next to other neat works, a bit of making of.

STMap and Edges?
Posted in: NUKE from The FoundryHi all!
I recently tried to use the UV Pass to stick some kind of logo or similiar to an already rendered image. It works so far great, but I always get this strange edges on the image after combining both elements. It doesnÂŽt matter if the image has been rendered with or without motion blur.
I attached an example, where you can see the strange edges at the "geometry edges".
Am I doing something wrong?
Thx a lot,
Dez
