SKILLS TAUGHT

COMPOSITING

Compositing is the combining of visual elements into a single image. From major films to car commercials, nearly all professional modern video contains composited elements.

THE FOUNDRY: NUKE

Nuke is a node-based digital compositing application developed by The Foundry, and used for film and television post-production. It is the industry standard compositing software.

ROTOSCOPY

Integral to compositing, rotoscopy is a technique where animators trace over motion picture footage, frame by frame, to produce realistic action.

ROTO PAINT

Another key to compositing, this tool is used to isolate objects within a clip and make the changes your production needs.

KEYING

Green screens (and blue screens) are used to insert background elements into a live-action shot. Keying is the method of removing and replacing the solid colour with other scenes.

SKILLS TAUGHT
