PROMETHEUS
So i recently had the honor of working on Ridley Scott's upcoming alien prequel - Prometheus!
What an awesome project!! being my first stereoscopic film I had a lot to learn, ever tried 3d camera tracking? ever tried 3d camera tracking in stereoscopic on a HR Giger detailed set? well its not an easy task! I worked with highly detailed lidar geo and believe me, when they need to match within half a subpixel there's no room for error. As the films not out yet these are similar shots to what I was assigned (found all images on google). I will share my own shots once they have clearance after release.
For the first time I had also been thrown into 2D compositing for a feature film! Lots of thanks to my comp buddies for all there help in teaching me new skills and tricks to make my shots look great and in stereoscopic on the big screen!! When you see Miss Vickers looking over the horizon and there's not a ton of crew and camera's in her helmet reflection, you wont ever know :)
There are some funky things that happen in stereoscopic, a shot that is already complex can become insane when you add the other eye. Reconciliation is a common practice for stereo plates in that both color and vertical alignment need to match perfectly for both eyes to ensure a comfortable stereo experience. Nuke has some excellent tools for doing exactly that, I will cover more on this topic later on.
Until its release in a few weeks here's some links to drool over :)

Welcome to AJ3DVFX!
I have been working in the visual effects industry for about 5 years and this blog is to share my knowledge, tools, artwork and experience back to the community! I have written scripts and tools for Maya, Vray, 3Delight and Nuke that I use day to day and will also share tools I have found to be useful.
