@FilmLearnin 7 лет назад

Well done guys, this taught me some great new techniques! Always happy to learn new ways of compositing :)

@FrikanihFX 7 лет назад

Agree! I learnt a lot with this one, that way of getting rid of the rough edges was like WOW. Also pretty awesome the "set matte" effect, no more infinite duplicating & precomposing layers!

@DatIsKevin 7 лет назад

Now that was fun! You opened my eyes to som really cool tricks, especially the offset seamless fog mix using motion tile. What a brain tease. That'll come handy. Unless we can shoot the fog practically ;)

@coryking1598 Год назад

hey man i looked at your show and i gotta say its pretty incredible! the cheapest feeling thing imo is the audio, like the voices seem shallow if that makes sense. i think better mics(maybe lavalier) and equalization to make it sound bigger would really bring up your production quality! seriously amazing thing youre doing over there!

@marcusnobreus1967 7 лет назад

Great Tutorial! How did you mask out the motion of the girl? Did you use the Roto Brush or did you just create / edited mask paths?

@AlfonsoSalaverria 6 лет назад

Russell Bartnick did you ever get a response? Im wondering the same thing.

@tomj. 6 лет назад

I'd imagine by using the Rotobrush. It's a lot quicker than creating a lot of keyframed masks.

How did you make the light rays?

@VisionaryFire 7 лет назад

Hi, this is Lendon. Basically, the same way we did the fog. Just composite 3D light ray layers into the scene. I guess the tough part is creating the light ray elements. I should probably do a tutorial for that on Visionary Universe.

@rgkaczynski 3 года назад

what happens if i don't create separate cameras for each rotoed foreground?

@ActionVFXofficial 3 года назад

You can set this up without duplicating the camera, however we do it here because we precomposed all of our matte layers to stay more organized. You need to place the camera inside the precomp to continue seeing that view when working inside of it! Does that help?

Can I move the fog element after pre-comp? the ''mask'' moves with it causing a hole in the shape of the mask in the element.

When I add to screen I see this square edges from the footage. What do I miss?

@ActionVFXofficial 4 года назад

Are you referring to the elements? These elements break the frame because they are so large and not meant to stay completely in frame. To fix this, you can add a mask to the fog layer and add a large feather, then adjust the mask so the fog fades out before it gets to the edge of the frame.

@ActionVFXofficial 4 года назад

This is done in the video at 9:30 if you would like a reference point to follow along!
