Skills
High end professional retouching
· Using Adobe Photoshop software I touch up photographs in a way that brings out the best features of an image while reducing or eliminating any flaws or imperfections. This includes frequency separation, Dodge, Burn, Color correction, blemish removal, spot healing of elements, exposure correction, digital makeup, and whitening of elements such as teeth and eyes.
Compositing
· Using Adobe After effects I created the final image of a frame, shot or sequence for films and television. I took footage and or plates from the client such as different digital elements; like the animations, background plates, graphics and special effects (SFX) and combined them together to make a believable picture or sequence.
Rotoscoping
· Using Adobe After Effects or Combustion I created animated sequences by tracing over live-action footage frame by frame to create a matte to later be used by the compositor to blend elements and/or background plates into a final shot or shots.
Editing
· Using adobe Premiere or Final cut Pro I used the raw footage shot by a film crew and director and turning it into the final product. Following an outline, script or shot list I assembled the footage into one cohesive video or film. As well as implemented many camera angles and takes that were recorded.
3d tracking
· Using 3d and 2D tracking software Mocha Pro I analyzed video sequences to extract camera motion and 3D scene data. Using this 3D data I then used the camera motion allowing me to correctly composite 3D elements
Photo composites
· Using adobe Photoshop I used multiple individual photographs (and sometimes digital effects as well) and combined them into a single final image. This I used for creating editorial photographs as well as Matte Paintings for use as backgrounds of an image or film sequence.
