Big Ben CCTV-Nuke

After showing my test render to the class during are dailies season, most of the feedback was things that I had planned to do later on today, one thing came up that I hadn’t thought about which was to add the pull focuses. I started by going into Photoshop and re-placing/ re-seizing the CCTV cameras to make them fit better onto Big Ben then using the pen tool I cut there stands at the base so they looked like they were stuck to the building itself, next I added layer with a mask set them to black and with the paint brush painted over a large area where the shadow for the camera would be. For some of the cameras I used lasso tool to create a shape that would let me paint inside without worrying about damaging the rest of the image. Then I had to create copies of all the camera layer an hid them and bring them into nuke using the shuffle node, the nuke stuff was pretty basic brought in the background that had all the shadows and then using the shuffle, pre-moult, merge nodes I brought in the CCTV cameras, next I added a transform node and made the camera pan from left to right and then added a Blur and on the half way mark the blur kicked in and faded at 170 (each stage between the blur faded)
