Russell Dodgson
14h 2M
English
This course, taught by returning Nuke prof Russell Dodgson is a fully production based course. It is designed to tie in directly with it's companion course, MYA214: Production-based Lighting and Rendering being taught by Robert Harrington. The class will be dealing with a full vfx sequence shot bespoke for the course. The classes will attack a variety of compositing tasks week by week and will pay attention to how we view a sequence as a whole as well as concentrating on the minutia of each individual shot. One of the courses main goals is to get full understanding of how we should approach the compositing of cg elements, and correctly using renders to rebuild our cg in comp so that we can adjust certain passes without incorrectly corrupting the contribution of others.
The course will have the flow of a usual production with assets being passed to and from 3D. We will learn how to assess 3D passes for their usefulness and discuss when it is appropriate to ask for a re-render or when we should just fix it in comp. Although this course is designed to run in parallel with it's companion course it will also be arranged so that it can be taken as a stand alone course. Rest assured we will be tackling some tricky problems and some dramatic footage that will be sure to light up your showreels!
Based in London, Dodgson is currently the Head of Nuke at Framestore Commercials in the UK. Tasked with developing a Nuke department within a commercials environment he focuses his attention on simple, effective workflows and the integration of his department with the other stages of the production process. Having used Nuke since just before it was acquired by The Foundry, Russell has worked closely with the developers and has taken an active role in teaching their Masterclasses as well as some of their online training videos. His recent credits include "The Tale of the Three Brothers (HP7)", Kia's award winning "Soul" campaign, the in game cinematic for "DJ Hero" and Coca Cola's latest all animated Superbowl Commercial "Siege".
