I’m a student working my way to becoming a Compositor. And as such, I’m building my showreel aimed at big companies such as MPC or Framestore etc, aiming to start in Roto/Cleanup.
My question was in regards to what a Roto artist is allowed to do in order to pull a matte. For example, if there is a section of the footage that can easily be luma keyed, is he allowed to do so? It’s just that I’ve seen a few compositors getting snotty about roto artists cutting corners like that, and wondered if a roto artist really is just living and dying by the bezier, when some more creative ways of pulling a matte may well work.
Just wanted to know so that I don’t do roto shots on my showreel using ‘shortcuts’, if they’re not encouraged.
