Breakfast television was invented in the United States, and continues to frustrate, entertain, inform and provide moving wallpaper to millions everyday.

Three network broadcasts dominate the genre, and all three are broadcast from New York City. The Today Show from NBC defined the genre in 1952, followed by Good Morning America from ABC in 1975 and the latest attempt from CBS in the form of the Early Show in 1999.

I’m still waiting for Aaron Sorkin to dramatize the world of morning television, but until then I guess we’ll have to keep tuning into the real thing.

Nuke random frames

Hi

Quick question for the more experienced Nuke artists

I have a 600 frame image sequence, and I need to access it randomly ( it’s a particle element for a timelapse shot, so I need a bit of jerky motion ).

I am trying to figure out an expression that will do it, but if there is any other way of doing this it would be great to know.

Cheers

Alessandro Schiassi – Compositing Showreel 2010

What I would change in the next update:
– keep quicker the Name+Title part
– breakdown of the lateral matte painting with the cyberpunk sidewalk
– perhaps moving the last shot with the burnout in the middle somewhere (but I don’t care too much since I’m usually applying as Compositor and not as Roto Artist).
– what else do you suggest?

I’m currently looking for job in LA.
