My Role

Set In Stone is the final project of my time at University. I was a part of a joint team combining the Animation and VFX departments, with 5 other compositors to work on multiple shots throughout the film.

Tasked with multiple shots for this film the simplest of which required only CG comp. I was collaborating with my 3D artist to get fix any problems with my renders which couldn't be handled myself within nuke. I was able to explore using makeshift relight techniques to add contrast and detail without needing to re-render shots. I was also tasked with clean-up on one of the longer moving shots, for which I had to combine 3D and 2D patch techniques before matching the depth of field change with a bokeh node.

I was able to complete all shots in time for the deadline of the project, with constant feedback from our tutors and peers to make sure we created an excellent product for our final result.
