WEEK 9 NUKE BALLOON FESTIVAL TEST

On the basis of the last hot air balloon project, the teacher asked us to create. I wanted to create a hot air balloon adventure in a stormy valley with a fierce gun battle. I first separated the mountain with roto and tracker, and then combined the dark clouds with the background of the mountain in the original video. And then we combine them with footage of a shootout. Finally, add rain effects and the whole video palette.
WEEK 9 NUKE clean up
2D Cleanup is an exercise for Week 9. For comparison and exercise, I added new nodes to the original file. The purpose of the cleanup is to combine previous roto and tracker nodes with other nodes to clean up the screen and add objects to the screen. After creating the CornerPin2D in the tracker node, add the text to the screen by copying and adding the text node to that node. The erase effect is implemented through RotoPaint. In this case, I can replace some objects in the frame with backgrounds by copying the brush. The Premult and FrameHold nodes then allow them to be mixed with pictures.

WEEK 8 NUKE Planar tracking
This week’s lesson focuses on 2D tracking and using multiple trackers to create accurate 2D pins for surfaces. At the same time, we use the tracker to stabilize the lens, make it easier to use, and then reintroduce the instability to properly merge all the elements. The poster exercise is based on rotating the two images together. Also, I colored the entire video first. roto was then used to eliminate the pole, thus completing the shadow relationship between the pole and the poster. Finally on this basis using the previous tracking to add a poster of their own.


In this lesson, we continue to learn the function of roto in depth. Using roto and premult together, we can turn the deducted object into a separate one. This exercise is an additional exercise for roto. Combine roto and tracker, dissolve and comerpin are also used. According to the finger dynamics of the original video, I simulated the animation of finger sliding the screen to unlock and the mobile phone sliding from the bottom up.

In the color adjustment of the picture, I used ColorCorrect and Grade to adjust the value of the RGB channel of the picture. My intention was to let the backlit environment of the background affect the color of the plane. I also increased the exposure intensity and lowered the saturation to make the sunset/sunrise in the background more visible and beautiful.


Week 5 Nuke Homework
In this lesson, we continue to learn the function of roto in depth. Using roto and premult together, we can turn the deducted object into a separate one. This week, through the hot-air balloon operation, I have a clearer understanding of nuke’s nodal style and layer application. This assignment was completed by my own understanding. I transformed the elements into three different layers, applied roto and premult, and then used transform to make the animation of mountain disappearing and the animation of hot air balloon moving. Finally merge synthesis.

This week, we learned about roto’s tools. In class, the teacher showed us how to use roto to cut out the running characters in the video. This is a tool that we can use in the future to deduct things and people from videos. This project requires a lot of patience and care to complete.

This week, our teacher introduced the interface of nuke and its working principle to us after appreciating the homework of last week. Three years ago, I briefly learned the software nuke. But later on, I used After Effects a lot, so I forgot some of nuke’s features. However, after the teacher’s explanation, my memory was awakened and I became proficient quickly. I like the working principle of nuke. The form of arrow flow chart makes the whole project file clear, which is very convenient for us to check.
Week 2:Short Video Work: City
Our project this week is to make a short video about what “city” means to us. This is a theme that I have been working on for some time in my personal work, and when I was shooting, I found that the red double-decker bus is very distinctive to London. So I decided to focus on this theme by photographing public Spaces related to transit in London. I also wanted to try to connect it as seamlessly as possible, because moving through a well-designed city is very seamless.
