Filming has finished! We lost our main actor due to sickness so instead had Liam help us out for the two days of shooting, not exactly who we type casted but beggars can't be choosers this late into the semester. It was really important for us to finish filming before semester break so I would have enough lab time to work on editing.
I have been working all week on my first compositing shot, I started off first in After effects but was not happy with the result as I could not get the camera tracker to work in my favour and resorted to animating frame by frame. However, it was a good way to get an idea for what I was after and start to learn my way around the programme better:
Next I bought the footage into Nuke. This is probably my fourth time using Nuke and I'm starting to really enjoy it. The nodal based system works for me as I find it easier to organise and follow exactly what part of the shot I am working on. Using an online tutorial I think I have created a look that I am happy with. After some false starts where I lost whole days worth of footage I am on my way to completing our first real fx shot.
The tracking tool in Nuke is also a lot easier to follow and I think wields a much better result then Adobe After Effects.
Final shot
