Dublin-based directing team, D.A.D.D.Y., has once again laid there quirky hand on an unlikely brand. In association with Mother, London and Blink Ink, they’ve created four fake, animated PSAs for the “British Biscuit Advisory Board” (Rocky Biscuits) to promote safe biscuit-eating practices.

Both the characters and copy are rendered with a classic, dry British wit. Here’s all four of the films: Temp Storage, Quality Control, Opening Education & Meal Health.

Client: Rocky
Agency: Mother, London
Production Company: Blinkink, London
Director: D.A.D.D.Y
Producer: James Bretton

playback issues

Hi there!
Has someone experienced a playback problem like this?
I have a green line in the timeline (so the part is cached in ram) and still can´t playback it smoothly. in fact, it plays back with 1 frm per second.
I tried everything like simply view only a background or a unanimated text, but still in that comp seems no realtime playback possible…

greedz!

remove any unwanted object

Alright this one is quite tricky and since there is NO final solution for such a thing I thought we just share ideas and collect suggestions in this thread so others can look at the ideas and it might help.

So in my case I have to remove an unwanted shadow (camera shadow) which first moves around on the floor (while the camera is rotating around a car so there is NO static floor) and then the camera shadow touches the car and moves around on the surface of the car.
I personally have no REAL idea how to fix this and it’s frustrating as hell.

Any ideas welcome.

For anybody who wants to remove something in a static background: Just hold one frame (freeze frame) and remove the object with the paint node (clone) and then if say a character is overlapping this area just mask it, easy as pie.

Shake or Nuke?

Eum, i was planning to learn shake, but it seems it’s only for a mac and i work with Windows.

Now i saw on many company sites that they request, shake OR Nuke knowledge as a compositor. And I’ am not that familiar with nuke.

Are their much differences on those two?

First look at “The Commitment”!

Hello everyone!

My name is Markus Bohman, from Sweden, and it feels great to be a part of this forum. I am 30 years old and have been making commercials, music videos and shorts for a while now. To introduce myself the best, take a look at my latest short “The Commitment” that premiers in Januari. Hopefully at the Gothenburg film festival.

The movie is shot on RED during 3 days in may. The full movie (not in trailers) contains alot of VFX (compositing, animation, key, fire etc) and we have spent the last 3 months completing them all. Dealing with the problems/benefits of RED etc

Right now we are waiting for our appointment for grading and then it´s pretty much ready for the 35 print.

Hope to hear from you soon!
