Learn Deep Compositing with NUKE

Join Motion Media, along with Deke from The Foundry, and get a hands on view of
what deep compositing is, how it works in Nuke, and how you might be able to use
it.. Deep Compositing allows artists to work with 'deep images' containing
multiple opacity or colour samples per pixel. This allows rendering of CGI
elements without predetermined holdout mattes, avoiding the need for re-renders
when content changes.

Inspiration: Philips Carousel & Making of

This video has been floating around online for a couple years now, but I came
across it again today and was floored, again. It's a very cool, highly cinematic
video that was paid for by Philips ( the electronics company) for promotional
purposes. Also, I did some looking around and found a "making of" video which is
equally as interesting.
