The Foundry Does It Again! (Part One)
Posted by: | Comments
Last month, I was introduced to the superb Keylight plug-in for Final Cut Pro (see And, The Academy Award® Goes To… An Instruction Manual!?! and Enter The Foundry: Visual Effects Software That Is Unbeatable!). After completing my examination of that excellent add-on, I began to study FurnaceCore, which is another superb plug-in for Final Cut Pro that was created by the Academy Award®-winning software-developer, The Foundry.* This plug-in provides tools for image restoration, correction, and stylization, all of which vastly improve picture-quality and reduce production-time. My platform is a 2005 Dual 2.7 GHz Macintosh PowerPC G5, with 8 GB of DDR SDRAM, controlled by OS X 10.4.11.

My 3 favorite aspects of Keylight: The instruction-manual is perfect! • The plug-in is extremely forgiving; cinema-industry-grade RGB values for rear-illuminated blue/green screens or cinema-industry-grade CMYK values for painted/curtained blue/green backdrops are not required in order to extract cinema-industry-grade mattes. • Once the plug-in is applied from the FCP “Effects” folder to the “Filters” tab of a video-clip, then all of the image-manipulation necessities are at hand; there is no need to search through the many other QuickTime folders or FCP folders in order to locate similar functions that do not work as well.

Hello!
My name is Spencer Latham (pronounced Lay-thumb), and I am 41 years old. For the past 20 years, I have earned my living as an Independent Commercial Artist, and my passion is the art of filmmaking.
I learned of David Basulto’s Filmmaking Central and Film School On Demand via the “Wish I Had An Ikan” video contest of the summer of this year. Although my film did not finish on the podium, David did vote for my film, and that was very exciting! I then enrolled at FSOD so that I could learn the business aspects of cinema.
