Vermi, via, non disturbate

A volte i piccoli dettagli rendono memorabile un lavoro. A volte i lavori non son nemmeno memorabili, ma la somma dei piccoli frammenti ci han convinto lo fossero. Che poi, le tanto osannate qualità del “dettaglio” son sempre fin troppo soggettive, e forse vale allora ammettere […]

I am using particular for some works and i would like to know how i set the velocity of emission of particulars, i dont talk about the physics´s velocity that increase the distance of the particles. I am talking about the walking of the particle (the velocity that her walking on the frame).
Lately, i am time stretch the layer, but i would want a solution more simple to control this velocity. In Trapcode Particular i thought that the VELOCITY FROM MOTION was the solution, but not. Can someone help me?

is it possible to read RPF camera in fusion 5 or 6??
because AE & combustion can read that!
if it can, that would be really helpful at 3D compositing!
Thanks!

Keying in Nuke
Posted in: Beginners TalkHey guys,
when you normally key, you generally have several different masks with different settings to remove the blue/green screen effectively. You can’t just use one keyer to pull an entire blue/green screen. My question is, how do you create those several different masks in Nuke? I tried it the way I thought would work but ended up only able to view one mask and not the others combined.
I am running on a PLE of Nuke and I am learning how to use the IBK keyer. I’ve researched masks on the user guide but it only talked about keylight.
Can you guys help me out? Also, sorry for all the noob questions. I normally find the answer myself but in this case, I need a professional who knows by heart. 🙂

The Art and Science of Digital compositing. And Digital Compositing for Film and Video.
Both books are awesome reference guides. Both books are big and heavy. It’s a pain to carry them around, but many times I need a quick reference or refresher while at work.
And while I own both books, I would almost be tempted to purchase a digital version if they are ever available for the ipad (I dont’ own one, but if I did I would most definitely carry those books around if I had the choice).
So question to everyone who owns a kindle or kindle compatible device. Have you tried either of the digital versions? It almost seems like a waste to reduce those color images to e-ink, which I why I think the iPad screen would be so much better.
Would you consider purchasing that book a second time to be able to carry it around easily in digital format? Is it even fair to ask us to purchase it a second time?
Personally I would love to carry these books around with me at all times. But buying the same book twice seems to go against everything I stand for. But these are new times, and the ability to carry these books around seems invaluable.
Or maybe you just leave it at your desk at work the whole time? I don’t know. I keep my copy at home, because that is where I’m most likely going to read it through. But it’s at work where I need to reference it.
Your thoughts?

Hi all,
Has anyone had this problem with the GenArts Lens flare?
I can’t seem to get any other results when I add a B &W or alpha image over the Lens flare

Edouard Salier for Coke
Posted in: coca-cola, coke, Edouard Salier, Football, General, paranoid US, quest, soccer
Director Edouard Salier and production company Paranoid US deliver another amazing football themed spot in time for the World Cup. This time working for Coke, they tell a story in almost mythic grandeur of a boy’s quest for a personal and unique celebration. The spot elegantly shows the spirit of the game and isn’t too blatant in it’s delivery. Kudos to Coke for once again trusting in their audience to have some intelligence.
Oh, if anyone is interested, the track is by K’naan
