Stitch reconstruction in Nuke

I was Technical Director and lead compositor on the virtual reality 360 music video for Honda featuring Moses Sumney. All work was done in the Foundry's Nuke.

At the time we were writing out UV distortion maps out of Autopano to do our stitch reconstruction in Nuke — so we could work with the original source material, all shot on a nodal Red Dragon rig.

Back plates were shot so that we could overlay the garbage-matted work.

A 360 music video for Honda featuring Moses Sumney — a full spherical frame with nowhere for a seam to hide.

I was Technical Director and lead Nuke artist on the piece, with all work done in the Foundry's Nuke.

Stitch Reconstruction

Nuke · Autopano · UV Distortion Maps

We wrote UV distortion maps out of Autopano and rebuilt the stitch inside Nuke — keeping the original source material from the nodal Red Dragon rig in play rather than a baked stitch.

Back plates were shot so the garbage-matted work could be overlaid cleanly.
