In this episode, VFX graduates Sondre Fagerborg and Sebastian Sveen, who attended Kristiania University College in Norway, take you behind the scenes of their ambitious bachelor project, Cryo Odyssey—a fully CG sci-fi short that showcases their mastery of Hollywood-level VFX compositing. Sondre and Sebastian dive into the challenges and creative choices involved in bringing Cryo Odyssey to life, exploring the techniques they learned in their VFX Bachelor course and applied with Nuke to achieve cinematic results. https://youtu.be/EGV-ipoBtcQ?feature=shared
Nuke is a powerful, node-based compositing tool used by VFX professionals worldwide. Its flexible workflow allows artists to integrate 3D elements, perform colour correction, and create high-end visual effects with unmatched control and precision, making it the industry standard for Hollywood-level VFX.
In addition to their collaborative work on Cryo Odyssey, each shares insights into their individual university projects. Sondre discusses The Suit, a live-action project enriched with VFX compositing to create stunning visual effects, while Sebastian reflects on The Cannon, another live-action production transformed through high-level VFX compositing. https://youtu.be/ePwa_TimiXA?feature=shared
Discover how their university projects not only refined their skills but also prepared them for success in the VFX industry. Their hard work paid off—Sondre and Sebastian both landed their dream VFX compositing jobs right out of university, ready to tackle Hollywood-level projects. If you're a VFX student, a compositing enthusiast, or just curious about the power of visual effects, this deep dive into their journey will inspire and inform you!
