I was wondering if anyone has a list of definite problems when going from one to the other, specifically from 5.1v2 to 5.2v1. I have a roto shot that I have started in 5.1v2 with a few keys in my script, and should probably be building my script in 2v1. Any thoughts?

Hi, Beginner here.
Posted in: Beginners TalkHi,
I’m new to these forums. I read a lot about which software to use and whatnot for vfx. Honestly, I just started delving into the vfx world and I was wondering about where to start.
I’m new to these forums. I read a lot about which software to use and whatnot for vfx. Honestly, I just started delving into the vfx world and I was wondering about where to start.
For starters, I downloaded the learning edition of fusion and I am so eager to learn. I also am a member of lynda.com and am currently studying Maya for 3d.
I was just wondering where I can find tutorials for Fusion and how you pros started out in the vfx world. Like what process you went through to get yourself in it. What software you learned first and all that.
I started with AE a few months ago but kept reading in forums that AE isn’t used much in the industry cause it is layer based. So I just recently downloaded Fusion and am eager to learn.
Thank you so much for taking the time to read my post. Any information would help out a lot. 🙂

Framestore: “DJ Hero” Cinematic
Posted in: activision, cg, cinematic, dj battle, dj hero, framestore, General, Intro, marco puig, pepper, video game
In the latter-day tradition of epic video-game cinematics, we present DJ Hero. Reared with love by Framestore and directed by Marco Puig, DJ Hero is a knock down, drag out grind in CG overdrive. There’s a lot going on, which—depending on your taste—can work for, or against it.
Through a medley of quick cuts and steely beats, Hero has all the trappings of an action movie—gushing with testosterone, and unabashedly fetishizing explosions and getaway tractor-trailers. The whole shebang kicks off like a DJ set—mix-matching and beat-juggling through an evolving cast of rogue characters and sticky situations.
The look is industrial, borrowed from the classic fusion of sci-fi and grit—popularized by films like Blade Runner. Through a loose narrative and several character face-offs, the piece crescendos with a throng of break-dancers, as the DJ—our master of ceremonies and resident “Hero”—spins a record or two in a celebratory close.

KL’S SELF-LOATHING VINYL TOY.
Posted in: fashion, Fat Mummies, Gallery, Karl Lagerfeld, Overweight
KL’s relentless war on the fat continued to blossom this week as he defended the skinny people who wear his clothes from the teeming hordes who want to tie his waifish models to pick-up truck bumpers and drag them through Parisian streets. As he levels cantankerous tweets at the overweight it would lead one to believe that Karl had never been fat. This would be wrong. KL was once king fatty of fatty mountain and is now making an attempt to wipe that image from our minds by lashing out at our chubby friends. We see you, KL. No matter how many toothpick-waisted vinyl toys or Beth Ditto photo ops pop up on the interweb, you’ll never be able to rid a google search of your formerly fat ass.

The thing about people who are only referred to by a singlular name – like Elvis, Prince, Coolio or Sinbad – is they are either the most poignant person in the realm of culture or the complete demise of good taste in society. Leif, artist and designer from Melbourne, Australia, may not be either, but his cosmic art collages will get him a hall pass for the unaccompanied surname reference. Click “read more” for some well served spacey designs.

Hello,
Any tips on how I can remove the cameraman from this shot?. A free hand move over the mirror and table. I can think of these and not sure if it fits and not yet tried any of them.
1. Paint the reflection for each frame in Photoshop
2. Matchmove the shot, make a similar geometry/model in Maya and try to project a clean plate of the mirror into the geometry?
Thankx for your help.
Thankx,
Haf
