NUKE – Advanced CG Compositing and Look Development – NK606 – Additional Feedback by Compositing Academy

Course Description
This is an advanced CG Compositing course for Nuke with numerous levels of complexity.
The course has been designed to simulate a standard visual effects studio pipeline – so you can get real experience compositing a shot like this. And, you get a great shot for your demo reel.
This course is over 40 hours of Alex compositing this shot – from scratch – and explaining to you his process.
The class starts with general artistic theory – and then moves into various methods on how to repeatably apply these principles. This ensures you not only understand the art foundations underneath, but know how to structure and build a complex composite.

A great analogy for this class:
It’s easy to pick up a paint brush and make a few strokes on a canvas. This would not make a beginner painter an expert painter.
The expert painter understands how to angle the brush, how to see the image, and the methods and processes of iteration in order to get to the final result. In this class, we are using Nuke as our brush and canvas, and learning those methods.
Advanced VFX Compositing isn’t about nodes – you can learn those pretty quick. We are in the business of making compelling images. You need to understand how to see an image, develop it and iterate. This is the primary focus of this class.

Who is this class for?
-Individuals who already have an understanding of Nuke’s 2D and 3D system (the fundamentals) and want to learn to improve their artistic abilities. (These are found in NK101-NK505)

• Junior or Mid Level VFX Compositors
• Anyone wanting to simply practice with high quality VFX assets.
• Studios wanting to ‘level ‘up’ their VFX Compositors, to be able to LookDev more effectively.
