Nuke, GodRays and Macro focus

Our first composition using NUKE!
Matt Cameron took us through this step by step, using the render passes that we achieved over night.
(The render of this sequence, about 77 frames in total, took about 2 hours, using 5 computers)

Matt then showed us different nodes to apply to these render passes in Nuke.

The focus depth on the ZDepth was adjusted, to show the trolls in the background out of focus. I found this staggering to watch, as it completed adjusted the scene, as if we were viewing it through a macro lens; making the toys really shrink down in size...

My favourite node label today.
God Rays! 
I cannot wait to apply these to the reverse shot of He-Man as he is backlit by sunshing pouring through the windows...
I would definitely like to test some GodRays for my final film, and the backlit ice figures!!
