Simple but Essential Services

The bot engages in delivering a handful of services that are central to any visual post production treatment, from the smallest ad spot to the “tent-pole” VFX heavy films


Layer Separation

Rotoscopy of subjects/objects to produce alpha mattes in preparation for compositing, stereo conversion or color correction


Layered alpha mattes
the BOT can provide alpha mattes and spline files for ultimate flexibility during comp. Labeled, separated, and ready-to-go in any compositing package.

Green screen extractions
often green screen shots are not fully keyable.  The bots can use hybrid roto and keying approach to achieve clean extractions.

Paint

Digital paint-in of missing elements or paint-out of unwanted elements across a shot


Clean Plate Generation
the bots can meticulously regenerate parts of an image region in a shot to create clean plates.  Care is taken during paint so that colorspace is adhered to and the changes hold up to color correction downstream.

Marker & Wire Removal
by the creative slight of hand, the bots remove wires and markers without jitter and with proper regraining.

Scratch & Dust Removal
it takes the bot touch to lovingly restore handfuls of frames or entire sections of reels from scratch and dust specs.


Matchmove

3D or 2.5D matching of a camera or object motion to ready a shot for CG placement or 2D image track-in


Camera or Object Matchmove
regardless of whether on-set camera or survey data is available or not, the bots' matchmove sleuths can uncover the camera motion path and place it into a coordinate system that's ready for CG artists to work with.


Track-in
The bots can leverage the extracted tracking information to precisely track-in stills (e.g. billboard replacement) or image sequences into a shot (e.g. monitor burn-in).



Matched to your
Pace of Production


Not every project has the luxury of time.  Your clients' expectations dictate your delivery turnaround - and you want an outsourcing vendor that understands that dynamic and works within that pace.  The bots understand this and have bidding and delivery processes that can cater to "short fuse" projects where the output was needed "yesterday" (well almost).  The bots have delivered reliably QC'd work to our clients in as little as 24 hours. 


More Deliberate & Planned Pace of Film Projects


Some projects require meticulous planning and precise delivery schedule at a reliable delivery pace.  A bot producer works closely with your producer and creative lead or supervisor to ensure the bot deliveries remain in lockstep with our clients.
