Re: Apple Shake Video Tutorial: An Introduction to Node-based Compositing
by viktor kopenkin

excellent stuff, made for noodles like myself!
would anybody be able to recommend a node for uprezzing from sd (quicktime .mov file, PAL) footage to 1998x1080 (1.85) DPX or TIFF sequence?
alternatively, if Shake cannot convert from QT, i can do the conversion to DPX in Color and then import into Shake. Would that be easier to do?
someone suggested Shake would do a better job than Compressor...
any advice would be greatly appreciated
many thanks

How to become a Feature Film Compositor by John Lafauce Jr.

Have you ever wanted to contribute to building a twenty thousand man army in "Troy", make a mouse fly a plane in "Stuart Little 2", or launch a doomed luxury liner in "Titanic?" You can achieve visual feats you never dreamed possible and accomplish them all through the magic of compositing. Read this article written by John Lafauce Jr., and see... How to become a feature film compositor. A note just to clarify: this article is about high-end 2d/3d compositing for long form media such as films, where the goal is to make the work seamless, integrated and "invisible". Not to be confused with compositing for motion graphics, where the objective is to make the object or design stand out and be "visible" to the viewer.
