Course Overview
A comprehensive guide to compositing for live-action films in post-production visual effects using Adobe After Effects.
If you want to learn how to use After Effects to create realistic visual effects (VFX) shots and not just motion graphics, then you're looking at the right course. This course will reveal the tips, tricks and applications of compositing in post-production visual effects - one of the final steps to finishing and executing any visual effects shot.
Learn How to do Compositing from an Industry-Trained Professional.
Using 3 real live-action films as test shots for this course, learn by actually working on shots while following the course as a step-by-step guide to proper and professional compositing.

The best part about this course is that it's going to cover all that you need to know about compositing in only the time that is necessary to get the lessons across - unlike those 15-hour courses where most lessons simply just go on forever, or exist for no reason.
If you participate in this course, you will walk away learning and applying what I learned myself, whilst working on the visual effects of major Hollywood film and television, AND saving yourself a bunch of hours with lesson content that only exists when it is necessary.

Nice beginner introduction to comping. Sometimes the lessons are a little confusing because the steps are not crystal clear. Some concepts such as the matting with a pre-comped matte were a little messily explained, but I know I'm more of a visual learner and would've preferred either a drawn representation or her actually showing the exact steps.

The course was definitely informative and I certainly learned much. However, I found that perhaps the straight-to-the-point approach left areas where I was struggling to fill in the blank. Specifically between videos where the set extension would go from 0 to hero over the time between videos. Suggestion: Include the in-between as additional footage at the end of the course for those that would like to see your whole process like me :)
