Betreuer Herr Prof. Christian Fries Fachhochschule Furtwangen Fachbereich Digitale Medien „Das vielleicht größte Missverständnis über die Fotografie kommt in den Worten ‚die Kamera lügt nicht‛ zum Ausdruck. Genau das Gegenteil ist richtig.

In der vorliegenden Arbeit sollen die gestalterischen Potenziale von digitalem Compositing ausgelotet werden. Hierzu untersuche ich theoretisch wie praktisch die digitalen Bildverarbeitungsverfahren und –möglichkeiten für analoge und digitale Bildquellen.

The work explains the origin of this craft and clarifies reasons for its demand in the field. The theoretical section explains the role of Digital Compositing in the VFX pipeline, as well as introduces a reader to the major compositing operations, which digital artists in the field have to be able to perform. Among those are compositing CGI materials into live-action plates, rotoscoping, keying, clean up, tracking and recreation of realistic lens effects. The practical part demonstrates how those Digital Compositing operations are com- bined on practice to achieve a desirable illusion in a shot. Based on the ability to produce realistic illusions and implement complex visual ideas, the works concludes, that Digital Compositing is an important and inseparable part of the VFX pipeline, and a demanded craft in the industry. 3 CONTENTS 1 INTRODUCTION ............................................................................................. 5 WHAT IS DIGITAL COMPOSITING ................................................................. 10 1.1 The value of Digital Compositing ..........................................................
