178Want to learn more about applying sensitometry in compositing? Join Director and VFX Supervisor Victor Perez to explore this concept and learn how to apply it as a compositor to flawlessly integrate CGI elements with live action footage.
Sensitometry is the scientific study of light-sensitive materials like photographic film or digital image sensors. In VFX work, this information can be used to optimize exposure settings and processing techniques. Using science as the base of art, the sensitometric principles allow artists to reproduce light-related properties in a conscious and procedural approach.
With a live demo of how to apply sensitometry in Nuke and a Q&A with the attendees, this is a session you don’t want to miss!
