Compositing
Live action heroes
Our evening Compositing Course follows the same principles as our full-time course and is designed to teach the full compositing pipeline, as used by professionals in visual effects studios.
In 20 weeks we teach you how to create professional standard composites that seamlessly merge live footage and computer generated imagery.
You’ll learn how to fuse CG elements, matte painting and motion tracking inside live action as well as exploring Nuke's 3D camera projection capabilities. The compositing course ends with a showreel project where you’ll combine everything you’ve learned into a single shot of your own design.
