Killer work!

To keep our well-paying domestic jobs we will need to continually upgrade our technical and artistic skills. Don’t just be a compositor. Be a lighter-compositor. Be the “shot finisher” with superb color correction skills. Get into stereo. Take some art classes and have an artistic hobby to show a potential employer. Bottom line - the higher up the VFX food chain you are the more secure your job is.

It is the first real inte­gra­tion of a 3rd party ren­derer into Nuke. It is also the first appli­ca­tion to allow artists to tap into visual com­pos­ing of Ren­der­Man co-shader net­works, via Nuke’s graph editor.

Beautiful! Look under Television - Network Branding.

It's pretty much an open secret in the business that you do feature-film visual effects for prestige — to get a great reel, to keep your artists happy — but they don't make money

My joy in this occupation is cranking out work I'm proud of faster and better than expected.
