DPX colorspace issues
Posted in: NUKE from The FoundryHey ya’ll…
Have yet another color space issue to add to the list. I’m currently working to full HD DPX files. My question is this: should I be working to the default colorspace settings, with the Project Settings (Default LUT settings) set to Cineon when reading log files? Or should I create a new LUT in the project settings with a gamma of 2.2 (edit expression -> pow(x,2.2)), and change the read from Cineon to the new gamma 2.2? Keeping in mind that my viewer settings are set to sRGB.
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
🙂

Interview: Capacity “Upgrade + Mobilize”
Posted in: anime, character animation, General, japan, short film
In the words of Capacity’s Ellerey Gave, “Before we became designers and animators and communicators, we were painters and illustrators and dreamers.”
Over the course of the last year and a half, Culver City-based Capacity has been working on an in-house short film while juggling client projects for companies like NBC, Cartoon Network and Toyota.
At long last, “Upgrade + Mobilize” is ready for the masses, and it’s definitely worth the wait. Mixing inspiration from Asian animation and art with their own polished aesthetic, Capacity has created a high energy, two and a half minute preamble to an epic battle of good vs. evil backed by beautiful audio from Plaid.
Motionographer was fortunate to get an advance interview with Ellerey about “Upgrade + Mobilize.” Check it out, along with some process work showing the development of this ambitious short film.

Peppermill Berlin: “The Big Coup”
Posted in: ecology, environmentalism, General, infographics, information graphics, visual essay
Peppermill Berlin recently created a fine visual essay for German rail company Deutsche Bahn. We’d normally Quickie this sort of thing, but the video comes with a special promise attached to it:
For every view of the above video, Deutsche Bahn will donate 10 cents to the “Bergwald Project,” which has worked over 20 years for the protection and preservation of forest ecosystems in central Europe.

Spam
Posted in: Site FeedbackOkey, I have been on this site for about two years now. When I first joined there was no spam here. Now it seems like every third post is advertisment for puma shoes and God knows what.
Personally it isn’t that big of a problem for me, I just press report and move on.
But maybye it is a unnessesary problem that we can deal with pretty easy. A suggestion:
The 5 first posts a member creates has to be approved by staff or users (I won’t mind).
Maybye this creates more of a headec than it is now. So maybye there are others way to deal with it. Or maybye there’s no need for it.

DROWNING CATS.
Posted in: Cats, Danilo Parra, Film, Gallery, photography
Danilo Parra is a photographer, filmmaker, and artist who lives, breathes, and sleeps in Brooklyn, NY. His epic cat torture film fits in nicely with our previous post about Lola Dupre but as you scroll through his work it becomes apparent that dude has a well rounded visual aesthetic that stretches far beyond drowning cats in slo mo. Check out a selection of his work after the jump.

Hi All,
I work in an ad ageny (print) as a designer in Dubai. I learnt afx on my own and did some stuff for the fun of it. Now I am keen to pursue a career out of it and am learning it more seriously. I read some posts here and have purchased books of “Chris & Trish Meyers” on After Effects and am learning the software thoroughly. My questions are:
What are the areas that I can seek work if i master After effects, ofcourse i understand that i would need to learn more than just After Effects to get a job. What are the other softwares that are definitely necessary?? Since I am not yet completely aware of all the opportunities, I want to enter the industry with couple of softwares and then decide on a career path once I understand the various possibilities. Also am not the best at conceptualising (when it comes to design), my best skills are more at execution. So keeping my skills in mind, what should i concentrate on to make the best out of my skills.
I will really appreciate any answers on this as this will shape my future. Also this can help a lot of print designers like myself, to understand the possibilities of migrating from print.
Cheers,
Vijay.
