class=\"wp-element-caption\">\u2192 <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/P3m__rmg60g\">very brief tutorial about the magic mask<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">i attended two siggraph conferences as a journalist, one \u2192 <a href=\"https:\/\/history.siggraph.org\/conference\/siggraph-1999-26th-annual-conference-on-computer-graphics-and-interactive-techniques\/\">1999 in LA<\/a>, and \u2192 <a href=\"https:\/\/history.siggraph.org\/conference\/siggraph-2000-27th-annual-conference-on-computer-graphics-and-interactive-techniques\/\">a year later in new orleans<\/a>. in LA i heard talks about simulating the structure of tree branches and their growth and lots of other topics. however, what was totally new to me in 1999, was &#8222;<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Compositing\">compositing<\/a>&#8222;. i thought this can&#8217;t be a spelling error and went into the big hall where artists working on big hollywood films showed their, yes, compositing works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">apart from being a journalist i studied 3D computer animation with \u2192 <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/PowerAnimator\">power animator<\/a> and later \u2192 <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/7fMft8D0w0Q\">maya<\/a> at that time. compositing relied on much more powerful computers, film scanners etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\"><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-cyan-bluish-gray-color\">fast forward 24 years<\/mark>: compositing tools run on mac and windows laptops now. particularly one program caught my attention: \u2192 <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/DaVinci_Resolve\">davinci resolve<\/a> by the australian software company \u2192 <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/DaVinci_Resolve\">blackmagic<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Blackmagic_Design\"> <\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/DaVinci_Resolve\">design<\/a>. the free version is a powerful video editing and colour correction suite. in the paid version you get access to more sophisticated tools such as for masking and tracking. the 4 minute tutorial you find in the link above is my humble attempt to demonstrate the use of the &#8222;magic mask&#8220;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">wikipedia has articles about compositing in different languages, however, with no video, only stills. now this changed. i created a \u201ccomposite\u201c within a minute and uploaded it to wikimedia commons.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-default\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><a
