Nuke Lesson 04 - Visual Presentation

I did struggle in this lesson to keep up with the instructions but I eventually caught up an understood where to place the nodes to create the effect I wanted.

Using the transform and invert nodes we were able to slide the doors open, showing the matte painting behind. We adjusted the colour saturation in the alpha channels so that the doors layer matched the matte painting behind. 

The next stage is to add the 'green screen' video behind the opening doors. Once this is done, it will look like the man is stepping through the sliding doors.

How I work out the exact frames to the music

Just thought it would be good to show the process and methods that I use so that my movements are in time with the music:

Re - thinking the ending credits

I have gone back to the ending credits and have changed my mind.  My animation is based on the story of Peer Gynt, which is set in the Norwegian Mountains. I looked back at my old concept art of the mountains, trees and clouds and feel it would be a shame to not use it. So I have made it part of the ending credits. I still need to add who the music was by and who made the animation!

Parachute Scene - More Progress

I've added some eye movement to each King and other extra movements too, such as arm/leg swings and head turns. Here is my Playblast:

                  

Parachute Scene - Progress

I have almost finished animating the parachute scene. I still want to add eye movement to each king and perhaps different mouth expressions too.
