About the 2D Pipeline
DNEG s digital compositing department is home to a team of highly skilled artists who use cutting edge technology to combine photography and CG imagery into the final composite, the stunning photorealistic VFX content that viewers will see projected on cinema screens or streamed to their TVs. Compositing is a complex discipline, taking and manipulating a variety of animated and static image sequences that serve as inputs aside from in-camera photography and pure GCI. These other inputs include articulated holdouts generated by our team of rotoscope artists, highly detailed and realistic digital matte paintings produced by our DMP crew, and prepared plates where scratches, wires and rigs are painted out or otherwise erased by our specialist prep team. Finally, our Motion Graphics department creates a wide variety of dynamic animated visuals, including simulating futuristic or complex computer graphics displays within VFX shots, on-screen graphics overlays or stunning title sequences.
