@@dalulu418 For a better result people often rotoscope it manually with little to no keying. Being the most visible strains of hair. It's just time consuming.
ZachImFilms This is easily implemented on the basis of alpha and luma matte, but before that it is worth making a high contrast. The main thing here is that the subtracted object is lighter or darker than the background. Then you can subtract white or black, and voila, you get perfect hair.
Prolly outsourced roto. To bad he dismisses the edge work portion, since its literally one of the most important aspects in paintout work. Maybe he not too happy with results?
Sandro is a freaking legend! I just watched his Vimeo reel. Really impressive work all around. Also, I had no idea the whole wall was CGI, so props to that too!
Your short movie was phenomenal. These behind the scenes vlogs show just how much time and skill it took to create the movie. I hope the movie leads to much greater things for you and your techs.
Awesome stuff as a computer engineer I just think it could have been easier to build a working prop of a next port, I mean you could have bought a cheap lcd panel or harvested one from a computer monitor or just used a thin bezel monitor and connected it to a raspberry pi where you could make the GUI you would want or even just play a video of what you want to be animated if you really want it to be easy, then with the frame have everything lit up with either EL wire or an led strip that you could also control with the rasberry pi but through and arduino. Then just make a nice frame use some cheap materials and 3D printed parts. Honestly would have probably been a lot cheaper and probably would have taken 1-2 weeks depending how many people you had working on it. If you want help on any props for you future work hit me up, I'd love to help out!
Would not be easier to make all wall as CGI rather than creating clean plate and removing the man etc. ? Wall might blend with 3d object better. But i believe, if you make all wall as CGI, then it would be hard to match light and reflections. i am not 3d artist but just learning blender for vfx purpose and wondering :) Thanks for your videos and VFX walkthrough. it means a lot for beginners and noobs like me. :)
I don't quite understand why the camera man needed to be in the shot. Since you build the camera arm yourself, it seems like it would have made more sense to attache a motor or manual belt to it and have the camera man crank it, while looking through a live monitor of the shot - and also cover the construct with a green screen. this way the construct could have been way closer to the wall and you could have even replaced the makeshift box with the light by a small metal rod that hold the product and a light that is just big enough to give the light effect you need.
I'm still learning English, can anyone please tell me what the word did they say at 4:04, which sounds like "noodley"? From the context, I guess it means "taxing"? Thanks a lot!
Nodes just frazzle my brain. I have to use them as a Blender user - but I need to watch tutorials on how to configure them. After Effects I can work because it's layers. There's a simplified hierarchy of top to bottom - almost like a digital version of the Disney Multiplane. Nodes though - you plug in boxes to get stuff to work! It's weird. What goes where and in what order?! The node trees here look nuts. Can't get my head around that stuff!
One you've worked in vfx professionally for long enough you will understand that after effects is much less efficient and nodes are much better and less confusing.
@@RichardServello. Thanks for that. I would obviously like to sit next to someone working nodes in Nuke and eventually have a light bulb moment! There's nothing stopping me watching tutorials of course.
Had the team on set absolutely no idea what they are doing??? ...they really did everything wrong what you can do wrong if you try it :D A mout on the sealing, a motor and a green dummy of the "thing" would have cost you 2 days more in pre-production and maybe a half day longer on set but saved you min. 25 days of VFX work.

They worked so hard on that ad, yet they couldn't make the child speak clear enough. What is she saying? Something like "I cut the ". Because the guy answers "We'll do it together".

Definitely would have been cheaper to mount to the ceiling and wall, and have a plasterer fix the holes than all that VFX work haha. But that's in hindsight I guess.
Dude, you clearly have no experience, I know I'm judging, but for what you said, it's hard to go wrong. I was in your place a few yrs ago. Give it a few yrs and you'll see I'm not wrong.

I know he doesn't want to talk about it, but can we acknowledge the rotoscoped hair?!
No way he roto'd all the hair. It's a combination of rotoscoping and keying.

Nice to see how Skywatch was made. It's by far the best short I've seen on this platform and I really hope Skywatch gets a theatrical release someday.
This is my favorite sequence of the movie. Absolutley phenomenal
Absolutely love this, every second of it.
It's been a long time since I saw a great thing like this!
This was very good dude mad props I saw the plates and felt the pain knowing how involved that paint work was going to be. Superb outcome though wow
Wow! It turned out beautifully. Especially the rotoscoped hair. Jesus!
Flawless work. Kudos!
Well Done Man. Truly inspirational
Amazing work 👍👏👏
Can't say anything but .... BRAVO -- NICE JOB !!!

this is unbelievable
You can look into using audrino few motors and transceiver module for future projects.
4:57 This thx is really respectable
muchas gracias... son mi inspiración....!!!
…also the music is a BANGER
Music was done by the great Jan Morgenstern! www.janmorgenstern.com

Nice work guys! Nuke its the perfect tool for this kind of works, I cant imagine the mess of making that compo in After effects xD
Facundo Peralta personally I don’t think such a good comp could even be achieved in AE. Layers just can’t compete with nodes at this point!
@@NStudioHD I don't known 😅 dont even compare nuke with AE shit
So cool to see blender used in VFX 🙌🏼
Expect to see that a lot more in the near future. I give blender 5 years to start affecting Maya's market share.
Only the best VFX shots are noodly! ❤
I just wanna ask colin why not use a motor or something like that?
love the videos keep 'em coming :D
That would cost them more.
@@jascrandom9855 they could just rent a tripod with a rotating motor i don't realy know if that would work but i'm just curious
@@DZMegamind They still had to paint out the tripod.
@@krisdebeuker true
Or even a simple rope/belt tied around the shaft.
Tell us about the sound!
It's incredible
Great work! I was a roto/paint artist so i feel his pain haha
Sooooooo.... FCPX plug in coming soon? :). Amazing!
was it impossible to use a track on the ceiling istead of the tall guy?
More Harry! ❤
2:15 How to roto hair like that smooth omg
Knowing what you know now, how would you have done things differently?
V nice
So, why did we need him in the middle of the shot again?
holyshit brooooo
Why did you spend time painting out the rig then covered the space entirely with CG. Could've skipped the paint out!

What software was that?
Why not do the whole thing in a green screen room, since you're changing like 90% of the environment?
Also, why paint out so much that is being covered by CG? Clearly not a very experienced crew

What software is he using?
nuke
Do tutorial,,, PLEASE !
vfx artist should talk more about how hard it is ...if actors and directors can so should you.
Or you could just have attached a rail to the ceiling. Way more cheaper and less work.
Definitely would have been cheaper to mount to the ceiling and wall, and have a plasterer fix the holes than all that VFX work haha. But that's in hindsight I guess.
A lot of the VFX fixing could have been avoided if you had built an automated rig using an Arduino
SANDRO is so hot
Nice CGI, But this could all be done practical way easier..
But much more expensive (tho this wasn't the most efficient method)
@@RichardServello a fake wall extention wouldn't cost that much
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck
After effects in few clicks using masks & content awarefill we can erase them ... takes 40 min for 4 shots... and u guys went for modeller..lol
I think you should give everyone a tutorial on how you would do this. I'd love to see it ;)
Just checked out your channel, I totally think you are speaking from experience. Have a great day.
