Cool Guys Don’t Look At Explosions
Seeed’s cover of “Wonderful Life” isn’t really that catchy, but it’s a perfect reference footage for the massive light spill that happens when the picture is exposed for the main talent while all hell breaks loose.
So next time, don’t just add a dodgy glow or tiny light wrap. Spend some more time on getting the integration right, even if it means fogging and overexposing the whole picture. The dynamic range of an explosion is too large to allow details inside such a big fireball to be visible while the foreground is exposed normally.
If you’re working in linear color space, the reddish light that scatters all across the lens is easy to create. Simply add a red slate on top (or lift the blacks).

Final Fantasy Stop Motion
Remember, when kids played with their action figures instead of creating an awesome 8 minute stop-motion battle sequence full of VFX?
Also, here’s a look behind the scenes.
Scripting Tutorial
I’ve recorded my very first video tutorial:
It introduces Fusion’s scripting console and describes basic commands to create and modify tools and handle file names.
Took me 3 evenings to record it and cut the 45 minutes down to 15. I hope you like it 🙂
