How do you start learning VFX as a beginner? And what programs do you need?
@AlfieVaughan15 сағат бұрын
I learned most of what I knew before working at a studio just from watching KZbin videos. I used to use blender and after effects. Blender is free and has loads of great channels making tutorials like Blender Guru and Grant Abbitt. I'd suggest getting into that and watching some tutorials and learning for yourself. Then if you want to take it more seriously you can study VFX at an educational institution like University or college etc

Hi thanks for the run through, does anyone know why when i do a similar work flow and try to open the exported fbx file in cinema 4D, it always is the incorrect resolution? In cinema 4d. Thanks. It does not seem to retain the resolution of the timeline in the fbx export?
@AlfieVaughan4 күн бұрын
3D cameras don't have anything to do with the project resolution. They have their own sensory size etc that's independent from the resolution of the shots. I don't use C4D but I would imagine you just need to set the project resolution to be the correct size when you first make the scene. I do the same in Blender
why did you choose to do it directly on the plate and not separate then plus or screen it on? Personal Preference?

One of the biggest issues with Fusion/Resolve is that there is 500 bad videos for every 1 good tutorial. Most of them seem to be more interested in putting their face on camera than giving you a good education. There area lot of issues with Resolve/Fusion, but it is still a million times better than using Premiere for editing. I still use After effects occasionally, but it has become so slow over the years that I avoid it when possible.

I don't, sorry. I always render my motion blur in 3D as it looks better and makes the comp less heavy.

I also usually set the drop down to uniform which makes it behave better

How is it a plus that you’re the only person using it. You can’t pass off the project, or collaborate with ease. If you go on vacation or are sick no one can open your project. Don’t say job security either because the moment those situations arise a smart lead [producer or owner] would restructure. I also don’t know why you have 20 computers rendering composites from a single artist when one decent computer can handle it in the evenings. Don’t tell me you’re using other people’s stations while they’re working. 🤦♂️
@AlfieVaughan11 күн бұрын
@I3ra that's quite a quite a narrow minded perspective in my opinion... While technically you're right about it being difficult to hand off, if you're doing a shot that you know will definitely not be picked up by someone else then it's not a big deal. Other software can have tools and things that are uniquely useful and good for problem solving. I've been using blender quite extensively for the last 7 years while working as a compositor at VFX studios. No one else uses it and can't pick it up if I do something in blender. But for standalone work where I know it's just me, it's solved some enormous problems that would have taken 5 times as long to do solely in comp. As for the render farm, valid point but maybe their individual machines aren't that good? I've also done jobs at 15k that took 7 hours to render overnight. If you're working late and need to send something quicker than 7 hours then it could be a 21 minute render with other machines. More power is never a bad thing

There was a time when people felt the same way when comparing Resolve for editing to other NLEs. It was good and could get the job done but was missing a lot of features. Now, a lot of those features are already there. The thing to remember is that BMD's main goal with their products is to make affordable solutions that are just as good as the pro tools. It's true for every single product category they're in. There's almost always a pro tool that's considered the industry standard, has more features and costs an order of magnitude more. It's true for the cinema cameras, the broadcasting gear, and the software. I say almost because in color correction, Resolve is that leading tool. Your video showcases exactly that. It's not supposed to be better than Nuke, but you can do a lot of the same things for much cheaper. BMD keeps adding features. I was playing today with the new uVolume node for vdb files (it's in the Resolve 19 beta). They've added USD support as well last year. The tool keeps getting better and I don't have to pay anything for those upgrades.

Hi, Nice video 😊. I have a question though. What is the actual process of filmmaking. I mean what comes first, the script writing, or something else. Here is what i think, but please correct me. 1. The person writes the topic and forms a story. 2. Then he writes detailed dialogues and script according to the story. 3. Then he plans the shots. 4. Then the actors act and the director directs. 5. And finally while editing, nice edits are done and sounds are added. Is it correct or am i missing anything? Can you suggest avideo that includes all this? Nice video 📷 btw 😊
@AlfieVaughan24 күн бұрын
Thanks! The process depends a lot on who is making the film and what level it's at. For example, a small college film would only be a few major steps whereas a big film is hundreds. Generally it's idea, script, story board, location planning, casting, costume design, general pre-production all come first. Then shooting and sometimes additional pickups. Then offline editing, offline, VFX, sound, colour... A very long process.

Offtopic question: How important is video resolution to a VFX artist? I'm sure you're gonna say, that quality (well filmed, well lit) exceeds quantity (resolution). But I'm sure, things like masking and tracking is easier on higher resolution. Is there a sweet spot, where the video gets so heavy to work on, that the benefit dissapear and you'd rather have a lower resolution to work on? I'm of course asking, because I wanna know, if VFX artists are looking forward to working on Blackmagic 17K footage or they'd rather work on 2K Arri footage.
@AlfieVaughan25 күн бұрын
There's definitely a sweet spot. The jump from 2k to 4k is horrible. Even on the machines at work that cost $20k+ each. It's exponentially slower to playback, track, render etc. I think you'd be surprised to hear that almost everything still delivers in HD (or 2K), even films for cinema screens. Most projects I work on are shot in either 4.6k or 6k which is the native res for the cameras (usually an Arri Alexa mini). But when we ingest the footage our colour department scans everything down to 2.8k which is what we work on and the final deliveries are usually HD. High Res cameras have been around for years already, like the RED helium etc that shoot 8k. We work with that footage all the time just never at native res. So the 17k black magic files won't be worked on at 17k either. It's not physically possible even with the best computers
