Introducing NUKE 9: The biggest evolution in NUKE’s history

Tue 21st Oct 2014 | News

The Foundry, today unveiled NUKE 9, the biggest ever shake up of its NUKE technology, including the brand new addition of NUKE STUDIO. The offering brings powerful node-based VFX, Editorial and Finishing into a new single studio application, as well as provides core upgrades to the advanced compositing workflows of NUKE and NUKEX. The Foundry showcased NUKE 9 at a live broadcast from London’s historic Leicester Square.

NUKE STUDIO empowers creative individuals working independently, as well as collaborative teams working on quick-turnaround projects, in a way that’s previously never been possible. Users can run a whole project from a single desktop, even while sitting with a client, and use NUKE STUDIO’s powerful collaborative controls to share work with a wider team and manage this from a central integrated location.

Specific exclusive features of NUKE STUDIO include:

Complete online-editing toolkit – Intuitive and familiar editorial tools get the job done fast, whether it’s on set editing, online conform, or simply knocking out quick edits.

 

In-timeline real-time effects – Powerful GPU accelerated effects can be added right in the timeline, letting artists quickly experiment, polish and achieve the high-end look they need.

 

Fluid end-to-end workflow – Combined timeline and node-graph workflow lets artists work the way they want with all the power to create a project in one application from start to finish.

 

Powerful collaborative control – A hub for total project control lets artists share scripts, work collaboratively with annotations and version up and down with ease.

 

Real-time 4K playback – Plays in-application and through SDI-Out Hardware giving confidence to client attended sessions. For the first time, The Foundry has certified an HP® and NVIDIA® configuration with Blackmagic.

 

Intelligent built-in rendering – Built-in render farm functionality automatically uses all available resources to enhance speed and performance, either on a single machine or when connected to multiple.

IKEA Halloween in Store

IKEA Singapore is paying homage to Stanley Kubrik’s cult classic, The Shining, in a Halloween web film set in the iconic IKEA showroom lanes. Danny rides his Big Wheel tricycle in a recreation of the infamous Overlook Hotel scene, with an eery conclusion. Look out for visual cues from the movie, including the twin girls, scrawled word “Redrum” (murder backwards) and the phrase “All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy”. The Halloween campaign is designed to promote IKEA’s daily late night shopping offering of 11pm. A social media video hunt, hosted on the IKEA Singapore web site and Facebook page, invites consumers to spot and win products that appear in the film.

The IKEA Halloween campaign was developed at BBH Asia Pacific, Singapore, by executive creative director Scott McClelland, art director Marcus Yuen, senior copywriter Angie Featherstone, project director Lesley Chelvan, account managers Manavi Sharma and Jade Cheng, head of planning James Sowden, social strategist Josie Khng, agency producers Daphne Ng and Wendi Chong.

Filming was shot by director Jordan Quellman via Black Sheep Live with producers Bhavna Shivayogimath and Malay Prakash.

The Shining Hallway Scene

The Shining was originally published in 1977 as a novel by Stephen King. Kubrick adapted the book for film for a 1980 release. Danny is the son of Jack and Wendy Torrance, who have taken a caretaking role at a hotel built on an American Indian burial site. Danny reveals psychic abilities, including telepathy, the ability to see ghosts and visions of the past and future. An excerpt from the Rodney Ascher documentary, “Room 237″, shows Danny Torrance (played by Danny Lloyd) on his big wheel tricycle riding through Overlook Hotel in three dream sequences.

LYRICS:
You remember in the 60’s when I invented the mash
Well now the time is come for me to update that smash
Since I’ve been out of the fright game for 52 Odd years
I invited a new crew to spread spooky cheer
The first to arrive was Dr. Hannibal Lecter
He brought his own date, and seemed to respect her.
They hit the dance floor, with a Jive and a jitter
Then he ripped off her face! He’s pulling out her liver

BACK UP SINGERS
That’s really gross

BORIS
Oh my god what just happened?

BACK UP SINGERS
He ate her face

BORIS
Yes I know! I saw!!

BACK UP SINGERS
Speaking of SAW

cut to:
Jigsaw next to a guy with a bear trap contraption on his head

JIGSAW
I like to play disgusting games

Sound of the bear trap snapping

BACK UP SINGERS
He broke his jaw.

BORIS
That is way too graphic. I’m going to faint
Surely all the other guests won’t be this rude
Like this classic monster, a scary hip dude
He’s got a kooky style and a spooktastic look
Oh my god he just hung the waiter on a meat hook!!! Why?

BACK UP SINGERS
He’s Leatherface

BORIS
He’s cutting him up with a chainsaw.

BACK UP SINGERS
It’s what he does

BORIS
Who’s Freddy Krueger

BACK UP SINGERS
He haunts your dreams

BORIS
Oooh he sounds like a real spooker!

FREDDY
I murder teens.
You can’t escape me, b*tch!

BORIS
Language!
In my day the monsters would just gave you a spook.
Nowadays, it seems they all just want to make you puke
(looking at the guestlist)
Ah the Human Centepede, that sounds like a hit
Wait, the ones in the back have to eat the front ones shit?!
Enough, the party’s over! Everybody out!
You all have no idea what “Spooktober” is about.
Here comes the Wolfman. he’ll show its done
He knows how to be creepy, but he always keeps it fun.

BORIS
Nooo! That was my friend.
Why did he meet such a horrifying end?

Is it too much to ask to have some monsters dance
It’s really quite a hoot if you’d give it half a chance

JIGSAW
This guy won’t let it go. I think it’s rather sad

FREDDY
Guys, I feel guilty

LECTER
And I also feel bad

LEATHERFACE
Let’s give him a couple moves, it’s the least we could do.

JIGSAW
Okay places everybody…and a one and a two.

MONSTERS
Look at us dance

BORIS
You did the monster dance?

LEATHERFACE
Hey look, jazz hands

BORIS
Wait, don’t twist too fast

VICTIMS
Our skulls are smashed

Samara from The Ring enters

LEATHERFACE
Oh great, it’s the girl from the ring

BACK UP SINGERS
Her heart is black

BORIS
She really knows how to swing

FREDDY
I wouldn’t look directly at her face if I were you.

The girl from the ring sucks out Boris’s soul.

LEATHERFACE
Oh well, we tried.

FREDDIE
He died doing what he loved.

JIGSAW
Monster choreography…I know a game we could play.
