The Other Guys was on tonight and the drinking scene was on. I was wondering how they did it and found this breakdown.
The scene from The Other Guys is the same concept from the Philips 21:9 Carousel video. Check it out its pretty amazing.
Before the big CXL shoot Sean was trying to prep everything he could and that included the greenscreen. He didn't have the time do the full screen so he only painted from just above the waste down, including the floor. With only half of the room being painted this created some concerns for myself as the Visual Effects Supervisor. Its hard enough lighting a GS evenly, but its even harder to do so when it isn't painted evenly.
I will be posting some shots of the finished comps soon!
CXL, Greenscreen, VFX I decided to write this simple and quick tutorial on how to Launch NukeX from the terminal since it took me a while to figure it out. I am not very good with command-lines which is why it took my some time to figure this out. hopefully this will save you a lot of time.
Open terminal and type: sudo nano /etc/profile
(Might ask for a password)
After you type the above, a new screen will pop up that looks like this
Under # System-wide... is where I put my alias, Here is what I typed:
alias nukex="/Applications/Nuke6.0v7-32/Nuke6.0v7.app/Nuke6.0v7 --nukex"
And your terminal should look like this.
On this screen you can add as many alias as you like just change the version(Nuke6.0v6 or Nuke6.1v1). I had one with no --nukex just to launch regular Nuke and I also have a few others for different versions of Nuke that I have on my computer. Just remember to change the name of the alias for each version you add.
This is a per machine bases so if you are on a network this will NOT follow your profile. Each time you move and log on to a new machine you will have to redo this.
Hit Control and X to quit then hit Y to save and enter. Close the Terminal and reopen it and type it nukex (or what ever you put as the alias) and NukeX should launch.
