i use this node education parpose - Francois Leduc on FrameBlendMerge:
You could also use a TimeEcho node. There’s no Min mode, but to fix that, apply a Invert Node to your source, plug TimeEcho (in Max method) and apply another Invert node after. Go at the end of your timeline, change the “Frames to look at” to the number of frames or your shot (or less) and you should get your clean plate. Of course all of this is done on a stabilized shot. - Richard Frazer on Colour Smear for Nuke (UPDATE v2.0):
Hi Josh. Thanks for the feedback. You have correctly discovered that this tool works best when you have a solid core for a matte with a feathered edge. Where it fails is if you have large areas that just have semi transparent alpha (such as your grimy window). I’d approach this by separating your actor with a rough roto and using the colour smear to deal with their edges. Then for the smudges maybe try extracting the green channel and using using it to drive a grade for your background, or... - Josh Northeast on Colour Smear for Nuke (UPDATE v2.0):
Hey Richard! Absolutely love the tool. Saved my ass alot. I’m working with some greenscreen plates where there is a smudgy window behind the actor and a greenscreen behind that. We need to preserve the smudges on the window but that means it’s hard to use your tool to treat the edges because the alpha isn’t clean. Any tips? Cheers, Josh - Matt on Keyframe Reduction script for Nuke:
Nice! Just used this on a projection/stabilization job and it worked great to simplify the original camera keyframes and smooth out the reprojected shot. Thanks!

Dead Hungry – Behind the scenes
February 08, 2012
Back in 2009 when I worked on Dead Hungry, a crew from Al Jazeera were on hand to document the film making process. This behind the scenes piece was shown on The Fabulous Picture Show.
I appear as the “VFX Lead Artist”, demonstrating the work in Shake on the computer in my old bedroom (although why they chose to show a boring wire removal shot when I was also demonstrating lots of the cool decapitation shots I will never know). Because of the tiny budget of the film I was also helping out on set with many other tasks and you can spot me also dressed as a zombie, as well as running around using the dry ice sprayer.
Probably the most worrying thing about the experience was that when the crew saw me in full zombie make-up doing my undead walk, they all just simply commented that I have often looked worse after working an all-nighter in the edit suite.
