Speed Compositing in Foundry Nuke – Far Cry New Dawn Teaser

Nuke compositing time-lapse was created during the work for Far Cry New Dawn teaser created by Fire Without Smoke and directed by Paul Dixon.

It includes every single tweak, test, feedback, adjustment, and versions of the comp. In this video, you can see how we approach the shot but you also get to watch the “evolution” and it’s a development from the RAW plate to final delivery to the client.
