AE Compositing and Visual FX Project is a project-based course featuring compositing and effects for feature films. The type of shots you will be working on run the gamut of the type of shots an artist would see on a sci-fi action film: From rig removal to matte paintings, cgi multi-pass to bullet hits, blood splatters, and explosions.

The course will cover multiple areas of visual effects post production – from camera tracking to cleanup, visual effects to keying, cgi and matte paintings. This will be a hard core compositing course covering a wide variety of applications, creative techniques, and more. If you’re a compositor at heart, this course is definitely for you.

Course Content:

  • Pull challenging green screen keys with Keylight
