Very informative, can you expand ont the professions and deprartments, for example, who is responsible to create the general look of titles in a video together with the design of the CGI ? Something like an Art Director of CGI?

@FireballVFX 3 жыл бұрын

Director shares his vision down the chain (involving an art director), where all help him to realize his vision and the overall look, be it characters, environment, titles, etc. Vfx supervisor overlooks and communicates the vfx process, so that all those ideas, which involve cgi and vfx, would be created according to director's vision. Depending on budget and size of the film, many different roles are involved. Depending on titles complexity (can be just a stop motion or complex visuals of vfx and cgi) specific roles are hired to realize the vision.

Although the information is good, i’d really discourage to separate compositing and vfx artist. It’s just like saying there is the mechanic and there is the hammer guy that can only use a hammer, you are always expected to be the full on mechanic even if your task is to use the hammer only. To be a compositor means having all the skills from vfx artist is mandatory and expected of you, it’s pretty rare to have all of those process all separated in departments, and their jobs not always come polished, so you are expected to take control and polish their work if needed

No, compositor doesn't have to be able to draw. It is a plus for vfx artist though, but not required. It is helpful for advanced matte painting, object removal, retouching and camera projection mapping. But just knowing photoshop basics can be enough.

I have one question! What is the qualification for becoming a VFX compositor? I was studying each part of VFX, such as modeling, texturing, rendering, animation, FX and compositing, Actually, I am interested in Compositor, however, I have some chaos... I have no idea yet which part is suited to me... Let me know the qualification for becoming VFX compositor~

@FireballVFX 3 жыл бұрын

The foundation of VFX Artist is compositing, then all other skills around it. If you only talk about compositing, then your qualification is compositing, aka how well do you integrate an element into any shot footage. Learn how to use Nuke and After Effects. Let me know if you meant something else by your question

@@maxmagnus777 i would say, if you are interested to be vfx artist, try not to think about how long it will take, as because of the technology and creativity you will constantly be updating your skills and knowledge. Think about getting involved with a journey itself. To have a fundamental skills it might take 1-3 years, depends on time, budget and individual. In regards to an open jobs that you mentioned - check what skills are required and what needs to be done, then learn that skill at first, so that you can dive working as vfx artist straight away. Even if you are not hired for this job, still do the job for youself in order to test your skill and learn how to do it, plus you will have it in your portfolio.

@@maxmagnus777 it is better if you stick to one skill and be a master of it rather than knowing a little bit of everything. If you want to get into compositing, it is compeltely different skill then animation. Animation is good to know in compositing but it is not the main skill you require.

Dude u must be mistaken , keying is part of compositing, thr s no such department named keying

@FireballVFX 3 жыл бұрын

So many techniques can be covered by one person that it can be hard to distinguish compositor from VFX Artist and CGI Artist. It is true that keying can be a part of compositing. But keying can also stand alone. Each project has its own structure. Chroma key is a process/technique, which can be covered either by a person, who is only specialising in chroma keying, a compositor, or vfx artist. It all depends on your structure of pipeline that you choose and manage, and more. Therefore, you can practically form a department that only does chroma key. I invite you to think of "department" as a "step"/"field"/"sphere"/"area" that accomplishes a specific process or task before you actually composite elements together.
