[00:00] So, preparation for the one take VFX. So originally we were going to do the explosion and have us just jump in front of the explosion. But when we had hooked everything up and saw what it was, it wasn't quite big enough.
[00:12] And we're like, you know, it'd be nice to be able to comp it together and do like three or four in a row out to the sides, up the front. And at that point it necessitated us faking it.
[00:25] This is going to look completely different than you can get from CG. In the real world of the film business, anytime we do an explosion, it's basically simulating.
[00:37] So we're simulating the explosion. So it's all fake, but it's real in the same process. Technically, it's three different shots. So there's only three different explosions going on right now.
[00:49] I would duplicate a layer, take certain parts of the explosion, and then overlap it. It just makes it look a lot better. Keep the camera locked off. Yeah. Got to keep the camera locked off. Yeah, that was a simple one. I was just set the camera up, park it there,
[01:02] and then just do everything in front of it And then just we gonna go in and stitch it all and rotoscope everyone out which is gonna be a fun one Yep So you have to draw an individual out so then every frame you drawing 23 people so 48
[01:18] frames 23 people and each frame takes about 30 minutes. Yeah so you got to know your tools you got to know what you have to work with right so like introducing all those talking about tracking talking about rotoscoping talk about
[01:32] compositing, really like the only way you're going to learn all your tools is go through all of them and use them multiple, multiple times and use them for different effects and get creative, you know, using it for things that you wouldn't think you would need it for, stuff like that.
[01:46] Yeah, we got to figure it out. And so what we're trying to do with the tutorials on the Roger Film School is to talk about principles, to talk about how would you approach the problem and how do you break down what you're trying to solve and hopefully what are the things you need to do to
[02:01] solve that. That's pretty much it.
