hi Brownsnuts,

the Guy matte was all roto in shake including the finer strands of hair...it's not the finest piece of work but did the job well from the demo real point of view

[Hippiehater1683]

This was BIBLICAL.

Just one question:

On shot 2, couldn't you have just used makeup and shit for the guy?

[amanbhutani]

hi Hippiehater1683,

I cldn't exactly get ur comment about the makeup bit....the black wines kinda thing on the guy's face n chest is ALL make up only...we had hired a makeup artist to get the gelatine type material on his body.

How are the mattes created? Do you trace each frame?

[amanbhutani]

Hi Engineero... Well,in certain instances it can be as tedious as tracing each frame but thanx to the smartness in Shake for most of the basic changes,the rotoshape or the matte can be animated after a few keyframes too and it transitions smoothly..

I like how you made the CG buildings on the right very good, I didn't even realize it was a CG model

@amanbhutani Wasn't it easier to shoot the guys on green/blue and key them out instead of going for the heavy duty roto?

[brownsnuts]

For the "Guy Matte", how did you do that? And can you use it as a mask?

Did you use Maya for all the CG objects?
