What´s not visible doesn´t have to be that detailed.</li><li>MotionBlur: everything that´s fast and blurry is fine... makes it look less cg and more like real life.</li><li>Shaky Cam: see also motion blur... Though a little bit overused in recent TVShows (some make me sick), when used in sensible doses adds a lot to your shot.</li><li>Antialiasing: Pixels look like ... well pixels.They´re square and mean  and look jaggy when displayed in diagonal. To make them a lot nicer try cranking up your aliasing-settings. Another good tip is to render your stuff at  80% size and scale it up...  </li></ul><div>Of course, there´s always a downside. Rendertime. Tends to reach exorbitant heights when you play with your settings. But keeping it dark (remember?) and rendering at smaller sizes (like let´s say 80%, remeber) cuts down rendertime a little bit.</div><div>My god, I sound like i know any of this stuff?</div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1551511123606306520-3033418180186540396?l=thecauseeffect.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Pixelrockhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15029393076936255077noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1551511123606306520.post-40396085121645512612008-01-27T19:17:00.001+01:002008-01-27T19:20:24.332+01:00Hey there, I´m deep into post so blogging is a littlebit rare these times.

But it´s not all about blogging, it´s also about getting work done :) And this is how it goes:<br /><a href="http://picasaweb.google.de/fourcameras/">http://picasaweb.google.de/fourcameras/</a><br /><br />We filmed 2 days each about 14h, it all went pretty well (except we had to reshoot because I forgot something :). On the fotos you can see our Recording Rig in True DVRebel style. For a better key, we used an HDMI cable straight from the Sony V1E Cam into the Blackmagic Intensity Card. This allows the frames to be recorded as Uncompressed 8bit Quicktimes in 4:2:2 compression. This will give us some nicer edges for the chromakey than standard HDV.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1551511123606306520-4334918819316202711?l=thecauseeffect.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Pixelrockhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15029393076936255077noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1551511123606306520.post-32357241232026387622007-11-19T15:38:00.000+01:002007-11-19T15:46:11.570+01:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_KWlfkja0JWg/R0GgMVSnD1I/AAAAAAAAAB0/i0l6Cx3EMTQ/s1600-h/moretesting.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_KWlfkja0JWg/R0GgMVSnD1I/AAAAAAAAAB0/i0l6Cx3EMTQ/s320/moretesting.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5134561183913152338" border="0" /></a><br />Shooting is scheduled for this weekend... let´s see how that works out.
