Advanced Visual Effects Compositing
Routledge (Verlag)
978-1-138-66831-7 (ISBN)
In this book, 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 three-dimensional (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 to 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
Working with stock footage
