A demonstration of a method of cleanup using clone-painting from adjacent frames on a stabilized plate, in NukeX 6.0. Also demonstrated is plate stabilization, "patching" areas of the frame with a still image, and degraining and grain-matching using the Furnace grain tools, in order to preserve the grain structure of the shot.
The shot used is from the animation "High Strung", produced by Tommy Thompson at The Evergreen State College.
