The Offset Podcast EP062: GFX & VFX Workflows

In this episode we're discussing a question we got from viewer/listener Matt S. who in part wrote:

'I’d love to hear your thoughts on working with GFX and VFX through color. I run a motion design studio in Denver and we are often delivering GFX to DI houses. We’ve gotten surprised a few times seeing how our material gets laid into a show, and sometimes heavily graded'

Thanks Matt for writing in! It's a deep topic, but in this episode we do our best to explore it. Some of the specifics we discuss include:

• Understanding GFX vs VFX and why they're sometimes used interchangeably
• The importance of communication in a GFX/VFX pipeline
• Working with GFX in a color pipeline
• Context & keeping GFX updated with the grade
• Working with VFX in a color pipeline
• The benefit of working with mattes from VFX
• Color management and how it impacts GFX/VFX workflows
• HDR and its impact on the pipeline
