Overview
In Advanced Visual Effects Compositing, industry veteran and compositing expert Lee Lanier offers tips, tricks, techniques, and workflows for difficult visual effects shots, including poorly-shot green screen, moving shots with no visible motion tracking marks, shots requiring 3D elements that lack 3D renders, poor-quality stock footage, and incorrectly lit shots. Lanier details the common problems of visual effects shots and offers practical solutions using examples from Adobe After Effects and Blackmagic Design Fusion. An accompanying eResource (www.routledge.com/9781138668348) features video image sequences, 3D renders, and other tutorial materials, allowing you immediately practice the discussed techniques.
The visual effects challenges covered in this book include:
- Chroma keying
- Motion tracking
- Relighting in the composite
- Repairing plates
- Replicating damage
- Adding depth with 2.5D
