I have a background in compositing in software such as Nuke and After Effects. I also find compositing knowledge helpful in working with image preparation for processes such as photogrammetry or gaussian splatting processing. I am a big fan of workflow automation, so I usually work with custom scripts in AE, Nuke and python tools. I know several techniques on integrating CG elements with 2d plates seamlessly, both in offline and real-time environments.
traditional compositing
- Compositing in Nuke, After Effects, Natron and Houdini (advanced knowledge of Copernicus)
- Chroma keying and advanced green/blue screen replacement techniques
- AI tools for compositing such as Stable Diffusion and Depth estimation Machine Learning tools
- Advanced knowledge and production experience using Nuke and After Effects
- Video plate cleanup both on digital and analogue video footage (static and dynamic object removal, stitch lines clean up, wire removal, colour replacement, noise removal, CG elements integration, masking, tracking 2d and 3d elements)
- Experience in writing Nuke gizmos – working with basic Python in Nuke to automate certain workflows
- Colour space proficiency
- Proficiency in understanding and working with different video and image formats
- Proficiency in general image processing and 3d reconstruction – from capture to final output
- Preparing the images for the photogrammetry processing pipeline
- Nuke and Houdini compositing network automation
real-time compositing / virtual production
- Extensive knowledge of Unreal Engine Off-World Live Plugin
- Unreal Engine Composure and Touch Designer on set for Virtual Production work
- Working with Media Playback tools in Unreal Engine
- Live green screen keying and masking in many real-time Engines
360-degree image and video
Moreover, I am familiar with several techniques working with 360-degree video, coming from different camera rigs. My skills include:
- HDRI image acquisition
- 360-degree still and video stitching from multiple camera angles
- tracking
- compositing CGI elements
- video stabilisation
- clean up (roto, object removal, replacement)
graphic design
- Photoshop
- Illustrator
- ProCreate
- Basic knowledge of printing principles, working in InDesign and Illustrator
photography
- digital photography
- analogue photography
- work with developing film
