Hasta La Motion!

We are currently looking for experienced Shake and Nuke Compositors for a stereoscopic project, in production beginning of May.

We will require a minimum of 4 years compositing experience however, experience in Stereoscopic compositing is not necessary. This is a great opportunity to work on a high end project within a dynamic creative team.

Please complete our online recruitment form by visiting our website: www.fuelvfx.com, take time to complete the form with as much information as you can and remember to include your show reel link.
Applicants with a valid working holiday visa are also eligible to apply.

We look forward to hearing from you.

Need a hand with something I am writing up in Nuke.

I have a bunch of nodes in different backdrop nodes, and I am trying to set something up that will export out each backdrop as it’s own nuke script.

I was hoping to be able to just select the backdrop nodes with:

(backdrop node).knob(‘selected’).setValue(True)

But that only selects the actual backdrop node itself and does not react like when you click on the backdrop itself in the GUI and it selects all the nodes the backdrop contains.

Anyone have any idea how to do that by chance?

Thanks in advance.

I’m 28 years old with a bachelor of science degree in computer science from Johns Hopkins University. I’ve been in the finance industry for the past years, but I am really thinking of pursuing a career in Visual Effects.

Just earlier, I was looking for a reputable school to enroll into and came across Gnomon. However, upon reviewing their application I must say i’m a bit discouraged. From what i’ve seen from their web site, it seems to be one of the best if not the best school for learning about Visual Effects. However, their application asks for portfolio- and being someone with no art background or experience with digital imaging, i can’t really come up with a portfolio to even send in with the application. 🙁

Does this school only accept art students or people that have already had some experience? Is there a possibility of me getting into this school at all?

"Decisions are based on a student’s application form, portfolio review and interview with the admissions department. Students are informed of decisions within two weeks after a their application is received. Portfolios should include 10 – 15 pieces in either digital or hardcopy format. Applicants must have a high school diploma or equivalent. Applications are accepted on an on-going basis. Students may begin this program every quarter."

Anyway, if anyone is involved with Gnomschool of visual effects (past or present) can shed some light on the subject or perhaps help me understand their acceptance requirement, i would greatly appreciate it.

-kind regards,
