Boy On A Ledge

Artwork Finished Projects
1

This is the latest project I worked on to evaluate the Blender toolset for VFX applications.

The live footage was not shot on green screen so a bit of roto work was done for the composite. The roto-bezier addon rendered with vector blur worked great for blending the live with the generated.

This turned out to be quite a good GIMP exercise also because of the amount of work involved building the background. I could not shoot my own bird’s eye view plates so I had to work with stuff I could get off the net and make them work together.

I posted additonal info on vimeo.

Hope you enjoy :slight_smile:

Here’s a video of the live footage against the vfx composite… still working on the breakdown, will update this link to include that when it’s done.

Update: added quick pass of the layer involved, still working on a better presentation of the layers

Very convincing, could we see a shot breakdown?

Fantastic! Please by the grace of god, give us a shot break down or small tutorial. :open_mouth:

Thanks for the appreciation and the interest.

I am currently working on a simple breakdown, and trying to include the GIMP layers as well. Hopefully I’ll have a chance to finish it before the end of the week. I will post it as soon as it’s done.

@meschoyez: I’m sure you’ll have lots of fun with it, just as I’m having :slight_smile:

ROFL! I showed your video to my brother and he was freaking out about the kid being out there so high up! You should have seen his reaction when I showed him the other video and he realized the truth! PRICELESS! lmao

@Robitron: Thanks for sharing your story… knowing people are enjoying my clips is also priceless for me!

@meschoyez: The tomato tracker is pretty good, be ready to get addicted :slight_smile:

Finally had a chance to parse the layers of both Blender and Gimp. Updated the breakdown with a quickpass of the layers. I’m still working on a better presentation to show the process. Hoping to have more free time to finish this soon.

Great work! I still can’t find the time to try those amazing Blender features
