John - LBL Ghost Project

[jlipskie]

The Ghost Project is the third project of the year. We are given 3 to 4 weeks to create a ghostly apparition that is subtle and believable, working entirely from within our compositing package (Nuke) along with the live action shoot. The goal was to blend together live action, a green screen actor and practical smoke elements shot on black, striving to create volume and cohesion between the different 2D elements.

This project is designed to demonstrate the power of leveraging practical elements (physical effects filmed in studio) to achieve very organic looking effects in a short period of time.

Comments and feedback welcomed.

Looks good for the most part. The smoke on the right hand of the screen seems to have too strong of a shape and makes it look like there's another image hiding in it and that its coming out of the miners back. I'd maybe drop the transparency in that area. Best of luck!
