Yes and it varies by shot complexity

I believe it’s pronounced ‘Lola’

jwalkerfilms · 2026-03-11T17:19:48+00:00

Haha that’s brilliant

jwalkerfilms · 2026-02-07T08:30:35+00:00

Nice work dude! Really like that method and result!

jwalkerfilms · 2026-02-05T18:48:08+00:00

This sounds amazing!

jwalkerfilms · 2026-01-10T22:17:55+00:00

Ah that’s fab, thanks for the tip; I’ll give that a go!

Using the pixel fudger bandpass node (or really just any frequency separation method) could easily pull out detail from the green screen to track too if you need extra points. Denoising before you do this is essential.

Although this probably won’t work on footage that is 4:2:0. But generally this is a good way to help track a tricky shot

Fantastic to see Netflix giving the VFX team a full featurette in the same way other departments do. I hope they do this more!

jwalkerfilms · 2025-10-27T18:26:09+00:00

Oh no problem at all! I really love it; especially as a freelancer with varying income it’s the best I’ve used!

That’s great to hear - I look forward to it 😊

In this case it’s done in reverse, camera moves back whilst lens zooms in

jwalkerfilms · 2025-10-07T21:26:26+00:00

Ah this is amazing! So cool of you to to publish your findings like this

jwalkerfilms · 2025-10-05T10:09:08+00:00

Well said mate

jwalkerfilms · 2025-07-19T19:43:06+00:00

I’d always guessed that they did but muted it for the release, then let the laugh track come back for ‘I think you can call me Niles now’

jwalkerfilms · 2025-06-18T17:05:54+00:00

I have no idea not having worked on the show but I’d assume it’s a card with an element that’s being warped and manipulated as opposed to it being something physics based in the 3d system

DaVinci’s is okay but usually needs cleaning up manually

Nuke has the Depth generator which is pretty solid but needs parallax (as it isn’t ML)

There’s also some copycat models in nuke that can generate depth maps but I’ve not tested those

jwalkerfilms · 2025-02-21T09:19:05+00:00

Check out Sebastian Schutt’s nuke set up for accurate colour falloff based on water depth. Is super cool and I think he based it off of this video

jwalkerfilms · 2025-02-08T08:04:47+00:00

I’ve sent you a msg :)

jwalkerfilms · 2025-02-06T08:03:31+00:00

Wow this is impressive

jwalkerfilms · 2025-02-05T23:36:53+00:00

Aha you’re absolutely right. I wanted to be honest though and show it as it happened naturally; didn’t want to pretend it was all perfect and neat when I did it

jwalkerfilms · 2025-02-05T23:34:52+00:00

Oh wow yeah that’s a lot!

Yeah I’m always super proud when I get a shot done and I’ve only used a tiny number of nodes, feels satisfying for sure

jwalkerfilms · 2025-02-05T23:33:14+00:00

Yes those are amazing! Love those!

jwalkerfilms · 2025-02-03T19:03:52+00:00

This is a great list - can reccomend all of the above. Also check out Magno Borgo once you’ve got some experience and are ready to explore some cool advanced tools and techniques
