Cruella Live Action Novelization Blackstone

Collective screening of the 2016 Academy Award nominated short films from the Live Action category.

In this class Phil Holland will go over shooting and accurately processing high dynamic range (HDR) images for live action visual effects and creative print use.

In this DVD, instructor Matt Skonicki explores plate enhancement and set extension. He starts off by going over the raw workflow with footage captures from the new Blackmagic Cinema Camera. From there he tracks the footage in Nuke and then begins rotoscoping for sky replacement using the new Nuke Planar Tracker Node. Next, he moves into 3D Projecting and does some cosmetic work on the plate by adding multiple glowing and flickering neon signs. He then finishes off the composition with Nuke’s powerful 3D scanline render engine, lighting geometry in the scene using many of Nuke’s 3D environment tools including point lights, environment lights, materials, and shaders.

Throughout these tutorials we will be learning the pipeline workflow for live action/CG incorporation using NUKE and Houdini.

In this NUKE tutorial, we'll delve into compositing a production level shot. We’ll cover adding in fire elements and shadows using camera tracking and compositing over a live action shot.
