Adobe Rotobrush – a good rotoscope?

Heya 🙂

What’s your opinion of the After Effects CS 5 Rotobrush?

I’m pretty new to rotoscoping moving images and wanted to know whether this is a neat way to rotoscope – in photoshop it’s an improvement.

Do you use it in "reallife" or not?

If not – why? 🙂

greetings!

Free Canon 5D footage with Chroma

Hello guys. I’ve found original video footage. If you need an original Canon 5D video footage for video and VFX practicing, you can download it here for free in this website:

www.cubicdisseny.com/2010

There are some war scenes and a chroma background. Seems perfect for keying.

here I insert a youtube preview. The final filesize is about 300 megs downloadable on the website.

silhouette, motion blur

hey, i’ve extracted a character from a shot(done all the roto work). I have also applied motion blur to it, and it looks fine. btw i’m using silhouette v3. Now how do i render the output with motion blur inside silhouette. :confused:

footage for reel

Hi I have a question about what footage I can or should put in my reel.

Is it ok to use HD trailers or youtube stuff for footage? For example rotoscoped airplane, car, people.. or should I record everything on my own?

Im asking because it safes lots of time, and I can make better things then with my SD camera.

Do the employers care if they watch students reel and see some fly overs and other fancy stuff or they are just interested in compositing work and thats it?

Thanks

Maya fluids (gnomon-files sim. different)

just got Introduction To Maya fluids with Wayne Hollingsworth. His sims look really cool when he demo’s them in the video, but when i open the workfiles to look at the settings- the fire and smoke simulations look like crap. All blobby and smooth. Can simulations look different on different machines, or is there som kind of secret switch I havn’t pulled?

Taking classes in post-production

Hello

Don’t know if this is the right forum to post this question, but I’ll give it a shot. 🙂
So, this summer I’m moving from Denmark to the Palo Alto, CA to live with my dad in 4-5 months time. The purpose of this, is among others to study and take classes since my dad’s university, Stanford, offers to pay for classes in the Bay Area for relatives. So I’ve been using programs like Sony Vegas, Adobe After Effects, Photoshop, Cinema4D for quite some time now, and therefore I’d like to take some classes or courses to learn even more about post-production. So I surfed around on the internet and looked at some community colleges and schools, and so far these two are what seem most appropiate, Bay Area Video Coalition (BAVC) and San Francisco School of Digital Filmmaking. So my question to you guys is just if you have any recommedations or experiences with this that could help me?
As I said I’m staying there 4-5 months, so the courses and classes should not last over a period too long or too short, more like a few weeks..
Anyway, hope you guys can help me out here. Would be very much appreciated. 🙂
