I provided some VFX cleanup services for an independent film. Three shots were provided at; 4K resolution, ungraded, as
Shot 1 : Object Removal
The white wall-mounted thermostat required removal. There were a few challenging aspects to deal with in this shot; racked focus, hair, shadows, and head movement.
Shot 2 : Blink Fix
The actor's blink was requested to be eliminated.
Shot 3 : Graphic Rebuild
In this shot the packaging logo had unwanted smudged ink. A graphic rebuild was requested.
