A compositor must have a professional demo reel that shows
the ability to solve complex compositing problems, such as
dirty blue screens, suppressing unwanted highlights in areas
to receive digital shadows, intricate morphs, etc. If possible, it is helpful to include shots with "before" and "after" versions or more explicit layer build-ups.
Compositors work closely with lighters and matte painters
to finish shots so that computer generated elements are seamlessly
integrated with live-action plates. Compositors must deal
with integrating separate live-action and computer-generated
elements; blue/green screen pulls; balancing and sometimes
creating shadow elements; adjusting color and contrast for
final output; wire, rig and whisker removal; dust-busting;
morphs; wipes and reveals; background replacement; day-for-night;
dry-for-wet; and a host of other 2D issues.
