Thanks a ton guys. Frank, what do you refer to when saying "steel kernels"? On Mon, Oct 26, 2015 at 12:03 AM, Frank Rueter|OHUfx wrote: > Assuming you need to do camera tracking, definitely shoot lens grids for > every prime lens and if you have zoom lenses try to shoot grids

Re: [Nuke-users] Ananorphic VFX, any issues / consideration?

We just finished an anamorphic show and overall it's not that much different. And the images look beautiful :)! - It's good to estimate more time for tracking, even if it's 2d tracking. Simple things like tracking a piece of footage to a nodal pan might end up taking lots and lots of time due to

Re: [Nuke-users] Ananorphic VFX, any issues / consideration?

wow, that was my dyslexia in full swing. I meant to say you can even steal kernel shapes from a plate to use in custom convolve nodes. :-D On 10/28/2015 12:03 AM, Mads Lund wrote: Thanks a ton guys. Frank, what do you refer to when saying "steel kernels"? On Mon, Oct 26, 2015 at 12:03 AM,

Re: [Nuke-users] Ananorphic VFX, any issues / consideration?

Fair enough, thanks for clarifying. Intuitively this is what my experience is though (and even what many DOPs will state as reasons to shoot anamoprhic). But yeah, good to have a proper breakdown, thanks. frank On 10/28/2015 01:25 PM, Chris Noellert wrote: DOF will be shallower than usual,

Re: [Nuke-users] Ananorphic VFX, any issues / consideration?

Assuming you need to do camera tracking, definitely shoot lens grids for every prime lens and if you have zoom lenses try to shoot grids at regular intervals. If you have the luxury and patience, shooting at different focus distances will help you assess lens breathing. Make sure you have a

[Nuke-users] Ananorphic VFX, any issues / consideration?

Going to start planning on a 4K anamorphic feature film. And I must say that I don't have too much experience working with anamorphic plates. Are there any issues that I should take note of or any other considerations? ___ Nuke-users mailing list

Re: [Nuke-users] Ananorphic VFX, any issues / consideration?

I like to keep everything in 2x anamorphic through my entire workflow in nuke using the reformat node from the camera files (i.e. pixel aspect ratio = 2 in the reformat node) and even send the exr out that way to VFX. This way you can work at 4k but almost have the same speed as 2k workflow

Re: [Nuke-users] Ananorphic VFX, any issues / consideration?

Maybe someone would care to expand on this, but I think you have options regarding pixel aspect ratio with your VFX plates - leaving them non-square, or precomping them, "baking-in" square pixels. Can't remember the benefits/disadvantages to either, but maybe this gets a talking-point

Re: [Nuke-users] Ananorphic VFX, any issues / consideration?

Probably want to allow extra time for tracking and also shoot grids for every lens. If there are lens flares in shots be prepared with tools or plugins to replicate them or shoot reference. John Mangia j...@johnmangia.com Sent from my iPhone > On Oct 25, 2015, at 2:04 PM, Mads Lund
