2 Nuke Practice, HDRI & Animatic


Before we started the Nuke lessons, I thought I'd give myself some practice by trying out rotoscoping. I did a quick exercise of turning a Tic Tac bright pink:



I then furthered my practice by rotoscoping a more complicated object - the hand:





In lessons we learned how to remove green screen in Nuke using Chroma Key. This is the previous footage:




And this is the finished result, using a background film clip that I took in London:



We did another green screen exercise later, using our own footage this time with a photograph of an underground car park:


We then began to experiment with using HDRI. We unfortunately couldn't get hold of a DSLR camera, so as we were just practicing I decided to take a panorama with my iPhone. I then put it into Maya and used it as Image Based Lighting to light up a simple sphere, but realistically.





I then messed around by making some extrusions to the sphere to see how the light and reflections worked on it.


Nuke practice aside, I decided to focus back on our film idea and make an animatic to try to represent what we want for the finished piece:
