Object Matchmove VFX Test
-
triplej96 181 posts30 Jun 2010Here is a test I created last week. I was responsible for all the post work and I was there on set to supervise. Completed this over a span of a few days to test a few things for a short film. It was shot on the RED. It's far from perfect but we wanted to test the effect and see if I could pull it off.

01 Jul 2010As a matchmove test it looks pretty solid to me. Would have been nice to fill those bottles with a bit of water to give it a bit of weight
Looking forward to the short film! -
triplej96 181 posts01 Jul 2010Thanks Global for the comment. Yeah you are quite right about the weight issue. I've had a few people mention that to me. For any final shot we will certainly keep that in mind. I made this pretty quick. For me it was also a exercise on lighting to try and match the plate. I think it's close but not quite there. I'll keep you updated on the short.

12 Aug 2010I agree with Global - filled would have been great, but regardless, great track!
I also agree with you, not quite there on the lighting. If you look right when he picks it up, just as its on his shoulder, his arm shirt, and shorts are very definitely receiving direct sun from the very front. The shadow on the back of his arm is almost black. The object itself seems to have a more general overall light, with no distinct spec side (specular) and shadow side. The colors of it look good, it's just more about getting some directional light in there, and some shadows.
Also, his shoulder should have the brights removed. If that was sitting on his shoulder, no light would be reaching the shirt fabric it was sitting on. Garbage roto the shoulder, hold out the arm from it, and do a luma key in that roto of the brights on the shoulder, and use that to CC (color correct) them down.
Sorry if I went a little in depth there on the critique.
It's a great piece, and I'd love to see you take it that last 10% to make it perfect! -
triplej96 181 posts13 Aug 2010Thanks for the reply Sean. Very informative. I will hopefully get to fixing this shot in the coming weeks so I can have it good enough for my reel. Thanks for the encouragement also and no need to apologize your informative reply will help me finish the shot!
