Compositing

The ability to combine real-world footage and the animated world has changed the movie-making industry forever. The seamless way that we change, alter, modify and manipulate the way we see the real-world through film is what makes the movie experience breathtaking.

Compositing is where different elements of a shot are filmed separately and then later pieced together into one final composite shot. There are many reasons for filming the elements separately. If the script calls for a complex shot with many different things happening in the shot, if only one of those things goes wrong while filming ,the whole shot is ruined and the filmmakers must start over. Other times, compositing is necessary to create shots that would be too difficult, too dangerous, too expensive, or simply impossible to film all the elements together.

iProductions plans to use Shake 2.2  for compositing shots. Utilizing approximately 40 computers, the compositing  will encompass 1920 sq. ft. of space. We will be able to produce true to life images that the audience will swear are real.

Shake interface. Check out their stuff at nothingreal.comShake™ is a high speed compositing software that can be used for large image resolutions, yet without the need for specialized hardware. Designed for quality, speed and efficiency, it has been quickly embraced by experienced users as a faster solution to process and manipulate high volumes of large images while maintaining the greatest degree of quality.
