How to Get Photorealistic Depth of Field with Nuke's Bokeh Node with

In this tutorial, VFX Artist Alfie Vaughan guides you through different methods for adding depth of field to a shot by defocusing the background, midground and foreground at various degrees with several of Nuke's defocus nodes. He also demonstrates how the Bokeh node is Nuke's most powerful defocus tool, giving you maximum control over the blur pattern to suggest different lenses and focal depths. Use this tool to really add photorealism to your shots.

Note that Alfie is using a plug-in called Channel Hotbox, which is a python script from Nukepedia for quickly switching between channels. You can easily do that without the plug-in using the dropdown at the top of the Viewer.
