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!

SuperBob premiere at LOCO
January 25, 2015
After a long, hard journey the premiere of SuperBob took place at the BFI Southbank last night. It was show as part of the LOCO London Comedy Film Festival, in which in won the Discovery Award. I’d flown back from my current job in Morocco to be in the UK for 48 hours, pretty much solely to be at this screening.
It was fantastic to see the finished thing on the big screen, and also catch up with a lot of the cast and crew – many of whom I hadn’t seen since the shoot in July 2013.
There was a very funny Q&A with our superhero Brett Goldstein and director Jon Drever, who was kind enough to give me a big shout out for all my work the VFX. The movie looked great and still made me laugh after seeing many, many versions of the edit. The audience seemed to love it – best feedback was Ricky Gervais tweeting
@brettgoldstein after watching your wonderful movie #SuperBob tonight at the @BFI, I have decided to treat you with so much more respect.

Hopefully the next step is it getting major distribution and lots more people having the opportunity to see it.
