Brief 01 Altar Sequence, 001-449 - First thoughts

Brief 01 Altar Sequence, 001-449

Looking at this sequence of nine shots, a few shots, mainly the first one, have quite a shake on them, the first thing to do is to stabilize the shots using the tracker. If the first shot is stabilised, rotoscoping shall be made easier than If the shot was still shakey.

Good first thoughts are, that some shots are revisited, re-used later on with the same background, so it may be a good idea to break up these shots, name them appropriately, and work on each of the same shots, rotoscoping the changes as they each progress. Through watching it, four different types of framing is used, one of the children from the top, another looking down at the children, a close up of two of the characters faces, and a shot from behind the children.

Some are repeated, this is where you break up the shot into their seperate small frames, working on similar frames such as the two different charactersclose ups, next, the shots framed looking down at the children.

Splitting up the shots and making them over multiple Nuke projects, then compiling them together may prove to be too tricky, muddled up, and disorganised, even with names, so the other way to do this is by simply cutting up each shot and making nine sections inside one project, working on them one by one.

Stabilise the shots that move too much to help rotoscoping work, break the shots up either into their similar frame groups, and label them as they are in the shot, 1-9, or do them all over time, keeping the similar labelling.

These are just initial ideas at the moment,but planning before going ahead on any project will save a compositor time in the long run, if a project is organised before they start.
