Compositing Professional

Taking your first steps into the world of CG as a junior compositor can be the most exciting and daunting time of your life.

Working alongside experienced compositors who have been part of the industry for a long time can feel like an intimidating task. Our tutors understand that the key to becoming a confident artist is to be prepared and know exactly what’s expected of you. That’s why we have developed our 18 week Compositing Professional Course, for artists who want to jump straight into a Junior Compositing position establishing themselves as a serious artist right from the offset. The Compositing Professional Course will take you through the same 12 weeks of study as our Compositing for Production course with an added six weeks of advanced subjects including Stereoscopic. There is a dedicated project week where you will be able to fine tune your showreel to establish yourself as the perfect candidate for your first compositing job in the industry.
