Very cool title sequence.
It looks like they used a combination of After Effects and a 3D package. Some of the sections look like they were created using projection mapping and then the rest was just 2D layers promoted to 3D in After Effects. After Effects treats it’s 3D like a diarama(because it’s not true 3D), so you basically build your shoebox, create a camera/lights, and start messing around with it.

To put it quickly:
I was referring to Chris Wright saying RED is “.709”
RED is shot RAW so the color space and gamma can be whatever is available to the application transcoding/interpreting it. It’s all just metadata. People spouting stuff like that make my job harder than it should be.
Is 708 a post joke or something?

By 709 do you mean Rec 709? If you do, then that is completely incorrect.

I think you should just use 4444 to help prevent the images from losing any more quality. ProRes 422 isn’t a codec meant for compositing so if you plan on processing the images more, don’t use it.

I use youtube…….just kidding.
H.264 – but you can configure it a million different ways so it just depends on how long your review is and how fast the clients connection is. I never compress anything straight out of After Effects. I’ll use custom settings that I create in Compressor based on the client and what I know their connection can handle.

Just curious, but why are you using those dimensions?
If you’re going to keep compositing with those clips, I’d suggest rendering out ProRes 4444.

What was the original footage shot on? Is this all just graphics etc? Do you plan on grading the footage after you import it back into FCP? The real answer depends on the answers to these questions.

Sorenson Squeeze works really well, but you’re gonna have to pay for it.

Spill and shadows are not a problem if you know what you’re doing and can roto well. Keylight corrects spill already so don’t worry about that, just use soft or hard color to adjust the spill…Or you could throw on an extra grade after the key to desaturate the greens. I’d suggest using Primatte because of it’s superior spill suppression rather than Keylight or just use Nuke’s IBK and be done with it. After all that and a light wrap, you really shouldn’t notice anything.
***Here’s a good tip if you bring a Mac on set with you.*** Hook the camera up to a Mac and record the video through the Quicktime Pro Application uncompressed via Firewire. It takes up a crazy amount of space but I’ve gotten better results doing that with my sh*tty HV20 than shooting straight to tape. I found that out after attempting to use the HV20 as a Webcam. Haha.

Try changing the frame rate.
