Welcome

Welcome to the Effects Corner.
I'll try to cover creative, technical and business aspects of Visual Effects.

I'm working on the podcasts and hoping to have those posted soon.

If you have questions you can post them in the comments and I'll try to incorporate answers in the blog/podcast.

  2. Hi JJasso,

    I'll probably cover an overview of the post-production process in 2 or 3 podcasts from now.
    Make a schedule of the different steps required for each shot. (scan, matchmove, animate, Td, composite)
    Some of these can overlap. When you turn over shots to people be clear on their schedule and then monitor their progress. Make sure they communicate with each other.

    For your matte paintins start assembling a real showing before and after. Some people show after and then before. Use whatever you think presents them the best.
