Dustbusting

[user_deleted]

Hi!
I'm a director student doing my MA film (30 min fiction) at the Norwegian Filmschool.
We are now in sound and working with the lab to blow up the film.
As all other films we have some financial problems with low budgets. The lab is almost
ruining us with the expenses for dustbusting the film. But we have a Shake on the school,
which I haven't used before. Mostly my experience with compositing is with After Effects.

So my question is: Can Shake do the same good job in dustbusting as Luster or Flame?
If so I could perhaps do the dustbusting myself, because we get the whole film in 2K 10-bits
for free from the lab.

Thanks for your help!

Best regard's

what's wrong with dustbusting in after effects? (this might be a silly question, never tried it myself)

but of course you can do it in shake too, all you need is a lot of hard disk space and time

Lustre has nice automatic dust busting. Shake you will have to do by hand using Quickpaint. But it works fine. Hust set your cache to aggressive and have LONG playlists for your iPod. I did 9000 frames for a film of mine that the lab scratched end to end.

Cheers,

download a 1 week demo version of furnace. I havent used furnace 3 but there are automatic tools for dustbusting and scratch removal. Judging by versions 1 and 2 it is probably pretty good.
