104 Make movie magic with slot gags
- [Steve] Hi, this is Steve Wright welcoming you to this weeks Nuke Nugget. Slot gags get their name from an old trick used in film opticals. The idea is you take two masks like this one and this one, you move them and then you multiply them together to get an interesting animated effect. So here, we'll move this guy in this direction and the other one goes in the other direction and if we multiply them together, there is our interesting animated effect. Now you can see what's going on with these two Grade nodes here. I have them dimmed down and then we do a merge plus so you can see the overlapping region and that is our slot gag. So let's apply it to something fun and interesting. How about some counter rotating rays? So here's our first mask and the other mask. One is rotating in this direction the other one in the opposite direction. So we multiply those two together and we get this interesting animated effect. Now we can trick it up a bit by adding a blur and then maybe some god…
