This project was an exercise in visual effects and color correction. Using my own footage shot with the RED Scarlet, I composited myself into the film Skyfall with The Foundry Nuke. This breakdown shows my process of shooting, keying, camera tracking, integrating, and color correcting a visual effects composite of my own footage and that of Skyfall. Completed during my Animation III course at Ringling College of Art + Design.

 

Process:

 

• Select shot from film to integrate

• Shoot footage on RED Scarlet

• Process and export EXR sequence from footage

• Key and generate alpha from green screen plate

• Color correct and defocus keyed plate

• Track camera from film and generate 3D camera and card data

• Create cast and contact shadows for keyed plate

• Place keyed plate into scene and integrate with final color pass and light wraps

• Replace screens in film plate with face from keyed plate using camera data

• Color correct and defocus screen replacements

• Add film grain to integrated keyed plate and screen replacements

• Render
