In this introductory DVD, seasoned
compositor Gary Jackemuk teaches the fundamentals of compositing
with an emphasis on production. Gary starts by creating a sample
composite, discussing the essentials of digital formats and
color space. From there, Gary illustrates the process of using
mattes generated by both 3D applications and live-action plates.
He discusses the details of combining and layering by looking
at the mathematics behind the most frequently used operators.
The DVD covers color operations, filters, transformations and
various methods of generating mattes. By walking you through
a few composites, Gary shows you how these techniques are applied
to actual visual effects production tasks. Although Gary uses
Shake to demonstrate these compositing fundamentals, the techniques
are applicable to any compositing package, including Digital
Fusion, Flame/Inferno and After Effects.
