Hello,

this is my first post to the mailing list, so I hopefully get everything
right in explaining my particular problem:

I have a composite of a Background in which feet are moving over a
pavement. As they move they make shadows on the pavement. The foreground is
moving spider that was filmed on the same pavement later on. Now I want the
brightness of my foreground to change exactly like the shadows of the
moving feet change the brightness of the pavement in the background.

Long time ago, there was a node in Shake called AnalysePixel or something
like that which could read out a certain area of pixel over the whole
length of a shot. With this data one could drive the ColorCorrect-node to
automatically change the the brightness or any other value. I used it once
to match a non-flickering shot to a flickering one (NOT FLICKER REMOVAL!!!).

I found nothing similar in Nuke except the Spotmeter-function in the
Viewer. But I found no hint to read its values and use it in an expression.
I need something to constantly analyze the brightness over a given range of
frames in a certain region of pixels and to drive a Grade or
ColorCorrect-Node with this values via an expression.

Does anyone have any hints on this? I'm using Nuke 6.2v1.

For convenience I uploaded the comp layout:
