Compositing

VFX pt2 started last week and it consists of comping. YAY! and kind of neigh.. simply because i haven't quite got my head around nuke yet but all in good time :) after buying a subscription to digital tutors i think I'll have a broader knowledge of nuke in no time. 


But the gist of this assignment is to pretty much show off as much skill in comping as possible, making this project good practice for the live projects we get in our second semester. We've been given the back plates to work from and have pretty much free reign of creation. I think I've set my eye on a few ideas but i think I'm looking more towards a kind of crash site/zombie esc abandoned area. So far I've created a basic scene layout and and a downloaded asset to use as some kind of burnt out/crashed car maybe.

 with that in mind ive been checking out a few good reel in this area on sites like vimeo and youtube to try and get an understanding of what we're being asked to create. these are pretty good examples i think and with practice hope to create something similar :)

and this is possibly the best of what ive seen for a while, quite literally where the term 'invisible effects' originate from i think!
