Creation of Shots with VFX in Nuke

You will begin by getting to know Ramón Cervera's work and how he has become one of the most recognized composers and supervisors of Telson's VFX. He will show you his reel with some of his most outstanding shots and will show you how some scenes that have been nominated in the Goya Awards for the Best Special Effects. You will discover his influences and get a brief overview of the evolution of VFX throughout history.

You will learn about the project on which you will work with Ramón, a blueprint of the series "Todo por el juego" by Daniel Calparsoro, with which you will learn how the pipeline works and the workflow of an audiovisual project.

You will see what pre-production consists of, from the script, the storyboard, and the references; continuing with the shooting, where you will get a detailed understanding of the role of a VFX supervisor.

Then, you’ll move onto the post-production phase of the plan, where you will learn to analyze the material and see how to distribute tasks within a production team.

Ramón will talk about Nuke, the industry's standard software for creating digital effects. You will see how to download the program and you will learn, step by step, the basic notions of how it operates as you discover techniques and tricks that will make your work easier.

Once familiar with Nuke, you will continue with post-production, working with lens distortion (Undistort) and analyzing camera movement (Camera Tracker). Then, you will start to work on the composition of the plan on the scoreboard, you will change the publicity of the stadium, and you will integrate the 3D into your shot.
As last steps, Ramón will teach you how to do rotoscoping and will give you some ideas to give an original finish to your plan. You will perform the render and you will have your project ready for delivery.

By the end of this course, you will have learned to build a complex VFX plan where no one will notice that you have digitally intervened.
