[NEWS=”http://www.cgnews.com/wp-content/uploads/fifathumb.jpg”]27901[/NEWS]Framestore has worked alongside director Johnny Green and W+K Amsterdam for the anticipated launch of the new FIFA 11 game from EA SPORTS. EA SPORTS host teams of global football stars and their mates, high on competitive spirit, battling it out in a vast virtual stadium.
Directed by Johnny Green, the spot is an effects-laden affair covering two-minutes, 130 VFX shots and nine edits. Jonathan Hairman supervised the shoot, overcoming the dual challenges of a vast convention centre combined with a limited amount of time with each star to capture essential shoot data and readable tracking markers.
The entire stadium was built in CG as believably contemporary architecture with the screen as its focal point. Framestore also designed a photoreal crest for each team and thanks to the gyrosphere camera, painstakingly painted out rigs from every single shot.
Additionally to help the momentum of the camera moves, Framestore created digital whip pans to help join shots but also help link opposing teams in terms of story telling. These whip pans consisted of the CG stadium with intricate graphic design elements created in flame.
With the exception of some 16mm footage, the workflow was entirely tapeless; data was taken straight from the set ready for AVID, conform and DI, as crafted by our very own Dave Ludlam.
Framestore has been working in digital film and video for over 20 years now, creating original and astonishing work that has helped make it the largest visual effects and computer animation studio in Europe.
Amongst Framestore’s notable commercial credits are Smirnoff Sea (winner 2007 VES ‘Visual Effects in a Commercial’, The Chemical Brothers The Salmon Dance, Casino Royale – Title Sequence, Vauxhall C’mon campaign , Sure Go Wild, Guinness noitulovE, Johnnie Walker Fish, Levi’s Odyssey and Guinness Surfer.

Hi im making a few tests of fast moving car along a road and can get most motion blur techniques to blur everything acceptably apart from the wheels. The techniques I have tried so far are Mentalray No deformation, mr full deformation, mip_motionblur. Mentalray full deformation gives best results on wheels but takes way to long and for the amount of frames I want to render and it tens to flatten the reflection properties of the material to much.
How do you guys go about achieving photoreal motion blur for this type of shot without it looking nasty?

Android apps (vfx-related)
Posted in: The PadAs the "iPhone apps" thread came up with some pretty interesting recommendations my idea was to start a similar thread for the Android-folks out there.
As far as I know the mill and framestore apps haven´t made it to the Andoid platform yet. Any other software to check out?

I’m supposed to be doing a research on any topic related to the VFX/CG field which should last for about one year. I’m currently looking for ideas. Do any of ya’ll have any longtime unanswered questions in your heads that you wish someone had investigated?

I have a shot where the subject is moving quite a bit and as a result the subject is under several lights of different colour temperatures.
Nuke doesn’t seem to animate changing colours on the colour wheel, is there any other work around how to get it to change colour without having to do the whole grade again with a mix node..???!!!
Cheers,
cr0ss:eek::)

Hey there,
Doing some roto, and finding it incredibly frustrating that the roto seems to always be in what Shake would call "pick mode". That is to say, only the point I’m currently working on shows it’s handles. It makes working much slower than having all of them shown all the time – much slower, and much, much more frustrating.

Any workaround? A setting I’m missing?
Thanks, folks.
