Computer-generated visible results are actually used broadly in function motion pictures, ads, song movies, and multimedia. The spine of this strategy, the ultimate and most crucial step, is named electronic compositing. The paintings and technology of electronic Compositing is a complete reference that offers a whole assessment of the technical and the inventive nature of this strategy. This publication covers quite a lot of issues from uncomplicated photo production, illustration, and manipulation, to a glance on the visible cues which are essential to create a plausible composite. Designed as either an advent to the sphere in addition to a helpful technical reference, this booklet could be of curiosity to either beginners and pros alike. Written by means of a operating specialist within the visible results undefined, the publication offers over 250 various photographs and illustrations (including a 40-page colour insert) in addition to an entire word list of compositing and visual-effects terminology. additionally incorporated are in-depth case reviews from recognized motion pictures comparable to velocity, Independence Day, and tremendous. Balances primary "hard technological know-how" issues with the extra qualitative/artistic demanding situations which face somebody concerned about a electronic composition projectProvides examples and illustrations from movie workCD-ROM comprises extra composition examples, illustrations, and improvement softwareIncludes 32 pages of color

Example text

The JPEG format has a number of advantages. First of all, it works particularly well on images that come from film or video, in part because the artifacts it introduces are designed to be less noticeable in areas with some noise. In particular, JPEG compression attempts to maintain brightness and contrast information (which the human eye is very sensitive to) at the expense of some color definition. The format also has the advantage that the user can specify the amount of compression that is used when storing the file.

A disclaimer: Different people, countries, and software packages do not always use the same names to refer to particular tools, operators, or subjects. In addition, due to the need to simplify certain things, just about every statement we make could probably be countered with some exception to the rule. This statement isn’t given in order to protect the author from any mistakes he’s made within the pages of this book, but rather as a warning to anyone just starting to learn about this field. In many cases, you will find similar or identical concepts referred to by completely different names, depending on what book you are reading or to whom you are talking.

Thus, a numerical representation of this image would be as follows: 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 As you can see, we are using 144 characters in a simple matrix to accurately define this image. Run-length encoding works on the principle of analyzing the image and replacing redundant information with a more efficient representation.
