This advanced course looks at the techniques used to improve the
physical appearance of on-screen talent; techniques which are useful on
almost every single project. Prof Nathaniel Westveer will be sharing
production-proven approaches for creating seamless digital beauty,
which is a mash up of various practices sometimes referred to as
digital beauty work, digital cosmetics, and digital beauty retouching.
Westveer, having broken into this secret world as an fxphd member years
ago, returns to share his knowledge with the community, bringing light
to a dark art. He brings experience of having worked on 60+ music
videos featuring a large range of Hollywood legends and icons,
including Lady Gaga, Britney Spears, Beyonce and more.
course syllabus
Class 1
Introduction. Painting, grading techniques, and working procedurally to
get the job done. A deep look at Nuke's Paint node, as well as the Open
Spline tool, with an abstract of how the process would work on other
platforms.
Class 2
General facial beauty, and the anatomy of what we aim to achieve. How
different regions of the face behave differently throughout the plate.
How to clean up blemishes around an area that dramatically shifts and
changes, such as around the mouth. Also, how to clean up around the
forehead and addressing under eyes while keeping the contour and
convexity of it in tact.
Class 3
Body Sculpting/Painting. Defining Silhouette vs Inner Body
Modifications, with a look at different warping methods, including
Spline and Grid Warp. Creating clean plates, but also discussing
techniques to acceptably warp without a clean plate when time is tight.
Also addressing common body modifications such as double chin, bra
bulge, torso rolls, muffin tops, and hourglass sculpting requests.
Class 4
Hair. We'll dive into one of the most difficult issue a Beauty artist
will face: frizzy flyways. We'll look at addressing the issue by hand
and go into a crash course in Mocha which includes creating masks for
your trackers, being mindful of how your planar surface shifts through
out the track, and linking tracks to create subtraction splines.
Class 5
Shifting surfaces. We'll dive into how to address shots where your
offset/clone sources doesn't match your target through out the shot

out for issues like aliasing (and what you can do to avoid it).
