About the Film

The Plot
Mark, a well-meaning college student, volunteers for Earth’s first inter-species exchange program and must come to terms with his new alien roommate Gonk: an insufferably superior slob whose only interest in humanity is the intoxicating effect of its carbonated beverages. The story is told through sit down interview sessions with Mark and documentary footage of their life together.

Procedural Compositing Test with Nuke

A short breakdown of my compositing technique using NukeX 6. A 3D camera is created for the shot and then the footage is re-projected back onto a floating card that conceals the desired object (in this case, a white brochure). I learned this trick from a video up on the Foundry's youtube page!
