Where and When

Michael B. Johnson:

The thing about Pixar is that they know when to give notes and when not to.

How many times have you walked out of a review only to be given notes just because someone had to have something to say.

I have written about this before. Notes, it separates the men from the boys. It's the men that take notes and make there work better. It's the boys that get all butt hurt and storm off. But here's the flip side to that coin. Defend yourself. If there is a reason for what you did explain why. Don't just sit there and say go ok.

Shots are bid, but know body knows till your trying to key a wet great green screen, rain and lots of atmospherics. The QuickTime compression helped hide, well all of it.

You hide all kinds if things in the madness because that's what's required. Make sure it fits the scene. That means AB it. Compare color, and density. Ask yourself all the questions. Most of all review your renders. I have watched to many artists have render errors ruin a review.

Just because you can fool the eye doesn't mean you should do it badly. Remember everyone knows there is a problem, most just don't know why.
