    Pro VFX artist here, these are all great tips! To add to the point at 5:00, in VFX we work in a linear gamma space rather than log, with all assets and footage being converted on import, then all converted back into the original log space on export. This makes black matching and blending MUCH easier and is essential for accurate composites. Look up linear workflow for your particular software to learn more!

    • @AustinThomasFilms
      @AustinThomasFilms Před 3 lety +7

      I'm studying to become a comp artist and that's something I've been wondering about for a while, thanks for the clarification! I thought there might be a conversion process like this.

    • @LeonUnity
      @LeonUnity Před 3 lety +2

      Yeah I learned this the hard way, often "colour correcting" my Log footage first then bringing it in After Effects, the "colour grade" itself would happen in Resolve or Premiere after the VFX were complete, so it's a similar function but what I didn't realise was... there's an easier way.

    • @360Effects
      @360Effects Před 3 lety +6

      @@AustinThomasFilms software like nuke and flame are all linear. It makes the most sense when comping and also trust me when I say ... Black levels not matching is one of the most common pieces of feedback. If you can do that well from the beginning.... You will go far

      Colour management has always been a sticky point for me in AE. Doing some test now with S-Log footage and exporting back out to S-Log. Anyone with recommended settings for AE would be greatly appreciated

    Ryan, some excellent tips. Thank you! Also... kudos to both you and Josh for keeping in "character" during the watering shots... Josh is a real trooper! Loved it.

  • @LeonUnity
    @LeonUnity Před 3 lety +1

    I'm glad to say we used a lot of these in advance for the last few films we did. The coloured lighting wasn't perfect but on the most recent one we used a lot of Aputure MC lights to do things like fire and enhance what would be an off screen flare. A lot more of VFX comes down to planning in advance.
    *Personal recommendation:* If you've got an actual film to shoot, I highly recommend having a dedicated VFX Artist or, at least someone who knows how they work in another job, to note down what shots will require it in advance and what to do to make it blend better. So much of VFX needs to happen before the footage is even in your computer.

  • @Jaredvic
    @Jaredvic Před 3 lety

    Grading is usually done before the shots are ingested at the Vfx studio. Then the studio is sent a sequence based lut which is never baked into the footage, but only transforms the footage when you look at it so if the client changes their mind, you’re not screwed and don’t have to re do work. Then the client usually does some per shot tweaks in DI and destroys the work you did by pushing everything to the max lol

I was wondering if anybody can recommend a school or some place to learn Visual FX to achieve this kind of skill level? While the tutorials are certainly helpful I would really love to find somewhere to get a comprehensive education in this type of work. Thank you in advance and keep up the great work!
