It's already the beginning of week 3 ahhhhh! Time flies, especially when you take into account that there are only 12 weeks a block! I better get everyone all caught up then. So all in all block three is all about compositing. Compositing is the combining of visual elements from separate sources into single images, often to create the illusion that all those elements are parts of the same scene. What better way to show you what it means then with an example.
Week one the assignment was to composite a CG (Computer Generated) car into a scene with a motorcycle driving on the road. We would have to make the car drive behind the motorcycle. I'll throw together a quick breakdown so you can see what had to be done (im just learning the software though so the breakdowns will get better!). That brings up another point. Breakdowns are when the final shot is shown layer by layer to show the amount of work that went into the composite. These are mostly used when showing off work to employers, not so much for film. In film you want the final perfected shot. Anyways, heres that first shot, and a little teaser for something that I'm working on myself!
I almost forgot! The software we use is NukeX for all those interested =)
Very nice!
