Hasta La Motion!

Hi,
I am drawing a blank when it comes to match moving this scene:

it’s about 10 seconds into the video. He is standing on the ledge and a the cam is doing a fly over to expose the ground.

Now,
I’m guessing that they used a crane over head on a green screen
and match moved it. Then added a 3d scene to it.

But my question is this:
How would you do this shot and use BOTH live action shots WITHOUT a motion control camera?

For example,

What would be the best way to composite this if you have footage of the roof looking down & a green screen fly over? I know nuke has that 3d composite thingy going for them but I never tried it.

Hi everyone

Here is a sneak peak preview of the Nuke to Mari work flow that we showed at NAB..

I’m working with some green screen footage at the moment and I’ve managed to get what looks like a decent key when working with the still image, but evidently is not when I play the sequence. The problem is that every keying technique I try, produces a slightly jagged, pixelated edge (mainly around the guys head – see pic) which can be fixed with an edge blur and erode. This looks fine in the still image but when played as a sequence the edges kinda ‘crawl’ as the pixels move… can anyone help with this??

Hi , i create a gizmo, the content are the rotopaint node and others. I want to be able to paint when calling this gizmo. It seems i can’t paint without revealing the toolbox param of the rotopaint. So i do manage knob and pick the toolbox. The problem i don’t want user to change this toolbox ( I don’t wan’t to expose this toolbox to user actually but there’s no way. If i hide it , i can’t paint) . So i decide to ‘disable’ it. Now i got another problem: when it’s disabled , calling the gizmo won’t activate the brush automatically so i can’t paint. By default the toolbox will reset to ‘select’ mode. I tried to set the default using addonusercreate() set toolbox value to ’14’ which is the value for ‘brush’ mode. But i has no effect, i still got ‘select’ mode (even the brush icon has been highlighted in the toolbox knob). The only way out is i have to make it back to be ‘enabled’ and when calling the gizmo , first i still have to click once on the ‘brush’ in the toolbox just to make it active.

Anyone got any solution?

Thanx a lot.

I want to do this small 3d shot in the upcoming days and want advice on how do add lensfare on a all 3D stereoscopic shot.

the shot in question has a camera rotating around a 3d scene. and i want to add a lensfare to the sun which gets occluded by the 3d talent.

ive heard that adding flares in a stereoscopic shot is complicated. pls share advice or personal experience.

thanks again..
