Compositing Skills
Cleanup & Paint
2D and 3D projection clean-ups: wire and object removal with tracked patches that hold grain and texture in motion.
Keying and Roto
Keys that hold fine edges like hair, and roto mattes combined with keying to pull a full subject.
Set extensions
Procedural extensions in Nuke and matte paintings in Photoshop, matched to the plate's grade, depth and camera.
Integration
CG into live action, and live action into CG or replacement environments, matching colour, light and edges.
About
I'm Ben, a 2D compositor in my third year of Visual Effects at Escape Studios, London.
I love learning more about the software I work with, testing the limits and pushing my skills to the test. I enjoy learning both in Escape and during my own time using tutorials on Youtube.
I am looking for my first compositing role, wanting to get my foot into the industry.
