Grabbers (2024)

Side Project

Grabbers was a side project focused on advancing my skills in green-screen compositing. Supervised by VFX Compositor Josh Parks who acted both as a mentor and VFX supervisor for this project. The key learning outcomes of this project were

  • Rotoscoping: Refining edge detail and isolating elements.

  • Marker Removal: Removing tracking markers seamlessly.

  • Hallation: Addressing edge artifacts caused by light spill.

  • Rig Removal: Cleaning up physical rigging elements from shots.

  • Keying Techniques: Mastering several advanced methods, including:

    • IBK Keying with the IBK Gizmo.

    • Additive Keying for enhancing fine edge details.

    • Keylight for precise chroma keying and spill suppression.

This project allowed me to deepen my understanding of compositing workflows and develop a well-rounded approach to solving common challenges in VFX.
