Paint him out! VFX Walkthrough - (NexPort BTS Pt. 2) 

I know he doesn't want to talk about it, but can we acknowledge the rotoscoped hair?!

Sandro is a freaking legend! I just watched his Vimeo reel. Really impressive work all around. Also, I had no idea the whole wall was CGI, so props to that too!

Nice to see how Skywatch was made. It's by far the best short I've seen on this platform and I really hope Skywatch gets a theatrical release someday.

Your short movie was phenomenal. These behind the scenes vlogs show just how much time and skill it took to create the movie. I hope the movie leads to much greater things for you and your techs.

This is my favorite sequence of the movie. Absolutley phenomenal

Absolutely love this, every second of it.

This was very good dude mad props I saw the plates and felt the pain knowing how involved that paint work was going to be. Superb outcome though wow

It's been a long time since I saw a great thing like this!

Flawless work. Kudos!

Wow! It turned out beautifully. Especially the rotoscoped hair. Jesus!

Nice work guys! Nuke its the perfect tool for this kind of works, I cant imagine the mess of making that compo in After effects xD

Well Done Man. Truly inspirational

Amazing work 👍👏👏

Would not be easier to make all wall as CGI rather than creating clean plate and removing the man etc. ? Wall might blend with 3d object better. But i believe, if you make all wall as CGI, then it would be hard to match light and reflections. i am not 3d artist but just learning blender for vfx purpose and wondering :) Thanks for your videos and VFX walkthrough. it means a lot for beginners and noobs like me. :)

You can look into using audrino few motors and transceiver module for future projects.

muchas gracias... son mi inspiración....!!!

this is unbelievable

So cool to see blender used in VFX 🙌🏼

Can't say anything but .... BRAVO -- NICE JOB !!!

Only the best VFX shots are noodly! ❤

…also the music is a BANGER

Awesome stuff as a computer engineer I just think it could have been easier to build a working prop of a next port, I mean you could have bought a cheap lcd panel or harvested one from a computer monitor or just used a thin bezel monitor and connected it to a raspberry pi where you could make the GUI you would want or even just play a video of what you want to be animated if you really want it to be easy, then with the frame have everything lit up with either EL wire or an led strip that you could also control with the rasberry pi but through and arduino. Then just make a nice frame use some cheap materials and 3D printed parts. Honestly would have probably been a lot cheaper and probably would have taken 1-2 weeks depending how many people you had working on it. If you want help on any props for you future work hit me up, I'd love to help out!

I just wanna ask colin why not use a motor or something like that? love the videos keep 'em coming :D

I don't quite understand why the camera man needed to be in the shot. Since you build the camera arm yourself, it seems like it would have made more sense to attache a motor or manual belt to it and have the camera man crank it, while looking through a live monitor of the shot - and also cover the construct with a green screen. this way the construct could have been way closer to the wall and you could have even replaced the makeshift box with the light by a small metal rod that hold the product and a light that is just big enough to give the light effect you need.

Great work! I was a roto/paint artist so i feel his pain haha

4:57 This thx is really respectable

Tell us about the sound! It's incredible

Sooooooo.... FCPX plug in coming soon? :). Amazing!

More Harry! ❤

2:15 How to roto hair like that smooth omg

was it impossible to use a track on the ceiling istead of the tall guy?

V nice

Knowing what you know now, how would you have done things differently?

holyshit brooooo

Had the team on set absolutely no idea what they are doing??? ...they really did everything wrong what you can do wrong if you try it :D A mout on the sealing, a motor and a green dummy of the "thing" would have cost you 2 days more in pre-production and maybe a half day longer on set but saved you min. 25 days of VFX work.

So, why did we need him in the middle of the shot again?

Nodes just frazzle my brain. I have to use them as a Blender user - but I need to watch tutorials on how to configure them. After Effects I can work because it's layers. There's a simplified hierarchy of top to bottom - almost like a digital version of the Disney Multiplane. Nodes though - you plug in boxes to get stuff to work! It's weird. What goes where and in what order?! The node trees here look nuts. Can't get my head around that stuff!

Why did you spend time painting out the rig then covered the space entirely with CG. Could've skipped the paint out!

I'm still learning English, can anyone please tell me what the word did they say at 4:04, which sounds like "noodley"? From the context, I guess it means "taxing"? Thanks a lot!

They worked so hard on that ad, yet they couldn't make the child speak clear enough. What is she saying? Something like "I cut the ". Because the guy answers "We'll do it together". I suggest investing more in making them clearly audible. I listened ten times and even the auto subs couldn't decipher it, just didn't add any line to the text. SKYWATCH is a great movie though!

What software was that?

Do tutorial,,, PLEASE !

Or you could just have attached a rail to the ceiling. Way more cheaper and less work.

Why not do the whole thing in a green screen room, since you're changing like 90% of the environment?

What software is he using?

vfx artist should talk more about how hard it is ...if actors and directors can so should you.

A lot of the VFX fixing could have been avoided if you had built an automated rig using an Arduino

SANDRO is so hot

Nice CGI, But this could all be done practical way easier..

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck

After effects in few clicks using masks & content awarefill we can erase them ... takes 40 min for 4 shots... and u guys went for modeller..lol
