The animation, VFX and composite suite is based on the MAYA Unlimited animation and VFX suite and further loaded with all the compositing, paint, color correction, and editing tools needed to tackle any project. We can do 3D animation, 2D animation, 3D water and fluids, modeling, character animation, image manipulation, animated painting efx, matte work, compositing, motion tracking, film scene replacements, all kinds of CGI. We also do actual underwater VFX work as well. Our numerous multi-processor Zeon workstations, allow use to render farm CPU intensive scenes while working on others.
In the studio we can shoot green screen 1920p/i 24fps or 30fps HD SDI uncompressed direct to high speed disk RAID, which will provide exceptionally clean HD mattes, We can then use these clean hi-res images in our post work flow utilizing MAYA and MatchMover for animation, VFX and Toxic, Shake or After Effects for compositing your VFX sequence for you. Or, deliver it to you for use in your post suite, either un-matted ready for your keyer, or matted using our Autodesk Toxic compositer/keyer. Very high-end results ready for your post completion efforts.
Whether we shoot, or are given elements, unless they are already uncompressed and 4:4:4 color space, we usually take the images up to 10bit RGB uncompressed with 4:4:4 color space for the animation/matte/composite work. The higher bit depth and zero compression creates huge files and makes the process much more challenging both on the hardware, software and storage, but it is worth it when in the end we end up with a product that looks as good as your vision (or better). |
