How much do Nuke artist get paid?

I am have had a retouching studio in San Francisco for 15 years. All of my work has been for print, here is a link to my website so you can see the type of work I do. Well I am starting to learn nuke and plan to eventually make the switch to becoming a Nuke artist. I was wondering how much nuke artist can earn? I no there are many variables, such as commercial vs feature film, full time vs freelance and then your skill level. But cam you give me a rough idea of what I should plan on starting out at and how high it could go? I know that I would bascially be starting all over, bit I would think that all of my years of creating images for print would count for something.

Thanks,
Steve

Hi,

I have a cameratracker shot in Nuke. Then I export the nuke camera using .export .chan file. When I import the .chan file of the nuke camera in Maya, its not aligned to the footage. Its close but theres a shift. Any thoughts why? perhaps theres another method of export a tracked camera out of nuke in maya? Thank you

Oh, Hello for SIFF

Seattle based studio Oh, Hello bring their signature style of cel animation to the Seattle International Film Fest. Like their previous work for the Pacific Science Center, their brand of animation is a much more lively take on how a film festival can bring an exciting and playful approach to its identity, while still maintaining its love of film.

I asked the guys at Oh, Hello to share some info on the project…

WONGDOODY came to us with the concept of an infinite pullback, going through world after world to convey SIFF 2010’s theme of “Inside Out”. Our immediate reaction was that we wanted to somehow incorporate the festival’s rich history and depth of movies into that basic structure.

As the largest film festival in North America, SIFF plays A LOT of movies from all over the world and the more research we did, the more of our favorites we found. Also, SIFF is a film fan festival, so we wanted to do something that was a call out to the fan culture. We tried to load as many film references into the background and foreground of each scene as we could. Another call out to film fans was to try and incorporate the spirit of all these amazing film posters that fans are now drawing and posting on their flickr, deviantart, facebook, etc. Our take on that was to animate the entire spot, creating something new yet recognizable.

Production Co.: Oh, Hello
Creative directors: Dan Brown, Thai Tran
2D Animators: Dan Brown, Thai Tran, Yassir Rasan, Lee Grambush
3D Animators: Lee Grambush
Compositing: Dan Brown, Thai Tran, Lee Grambush
Rotosope and illustration: Yassir Rasan, Leslie Ann Kam
Producer: Nathan F. Barr

Also, check out their new work for Nike.

Animated Spot – an engineered flower

Hi there!

This is my latest animation, which will be a local cinema spot in a german city.
It promotes a hair stylist, but should not have to do anything with this profession. It’s intended to attract interest.

Let me know what you think about it. 🙂
