   Working with CoreMelt, I have designed over 200 plugins from glitch and glow effects to image montage and advanced color correction tools. Making use of the extensive library of modular effects and the "vTwin Fx" engine, very quick turnaround is possible to meet the deadlines of production jobs. Plugins can be designed using the advanced custom interface elements which are available in the CoreMelt plugin system, or with more time we can create completely new interface elements. Examples might be to automate a tedious and repetitive task animating many layers, consolidating a commonly used effect on episodic work or even reading data from external sources and creating animations or text layouts automatically.
Example: "Debayer" plugin created for Pixel Addicts [UK].The Pixel Addicts created a system for capturing from mutiple hispeed machine vision cameras in realtime for a music video shoot. The footage was in a bayer format for which no existing conversion process existed. Within two days we created a custom debayer plugin to convert from the camera format to standard RGB images directly inside Final Cut Pro, avoiding a tedious manual conversion process.
 
Realtime onset PrevizMany effects can be processed on a live camera input, and used onset to get a much clearer idea of a complicated effects shot. This technique was used on the Sony Bravia India commercial in order to line up the talent and minatures for a variety of the bluescreen shots, saving many hours of tedious and expensive tracking work that would otherwise have been required.   Using the vTwin modular FX engine we are able to quickly create mockups of complicated effects including placeholder 3D objects or backgrounds and complicated compositional styles. |
