Final Comp

Effective problem solving, attention to detail, using an artistic eye to tell the story at hand while maintaining shot to shot continuity. Difficult keys are pulled keeping detail in the plate utilizing built in as well as customized tools and techniques.

With my full knowledge of the 3D environment, I am able to communicate and problem solve with the 3D team to create the elements needed to efficiently create a final seamless composite.

Rotoscoping and Paint:

Fast and efficient with no quality loss in the mattes makes for great roto. Through use of smart shot analysis, tracking, smooth shape movement, point to point placement, and keys pulled where possible, I can do just this. With roto usually comes paint. I offer seamless removal of rigs, wires, reflections, and other unwanted objects or people.

Matchmove:

Utilizing software that is either built into the compositing package, like the camera tracker in NukeX, or an external 3D tracking software such as Syntheyes or 3DEqualizer., I am able to match the movement for integration of CG elements to the plate. Complex scenes with erratic movement, extreme lens distortion, or other challenging situations are still tracked with a verity of techniques so there is almost no shot that can not be tracked.
