      Finished my final approved shots for "SEIZE AND DELIVER" for Visual Effects Clean-Up, specifically for Marker Removal and Set Extension. In Nuke, I examined the entire frame for red markers and used roto shapes to mask the area of the footage to take the markers out. In Nuke, I examined the frame for green screen and used it for rotoing background walls to extend it out to use the full frame.
