Hello to everyone here,
I am Kumar, currently working in the industry. Just some thoughts i wanted to ask and clear my doubts. Hope someone will be open enough to share some screats.
Ok when you composite a blue / green screen footage, into a background its really a lot of detailed work. http://forums.cgsociety.org/newthread.php?do=newthread&f=76# so big up to you all who have the time and the patience to do all that passes. I still wonder do you all still do all that passes when your dateline is shortened...??? Hmm Hehehe
I am working on Blue Screen / PAL / DVCPRO 50 / SD res type compositing.
Does resolution really play a big part ? Hmm guessing from color depth and sorts ok i know to one extent whats the answer. I mean the integration between your keyed FG and BG.
Ok i did the basic stuff, degrain, deblur, de interlace and then key.... bla bla bla.. Edge Blurs. Scaled FG over BG.... bla bla bla.
Analyse and correct the colors and so on. Match shadows and lumiance, using monochrome.
Ok now are there some advanced tips i should look into?? when i am matching the colors and shadows and highlights??
Sometimes i blur the composited Bg big and then multiply it over some elements if i am creating something like a matte painting type composite. Are there other stuff i should look into??
Ok how do you change the lighting on some of the elements, like if its shot with the wrong lighting... Man i had some late nights before i at least pulled off a just approval. What do you guys do for these situations???
Ok motion blurs, man this used to be a pain, but not after some curves adjustments and isolating and replacing the colors, its better i learnt something along the way. But is there any way to fix the motion blur problem altogether... I am guessing not, since the source has it. Or do you guys roto around it, and do some quick clone type masking to get the fingers looking normal again... Especially in a mid or close up shot??
Please do talk openly about how you grade and finish or polish the composite. I am looking for a tighter integration, anything along that line would help me much.
Cheers and thanks
Kumar
