FXPHD – NUK311 – Nuke, Motion Control & Deep Compositing

Download video course by FXPHD – NUK311 – Nuke, Motion Control & Deep Compositing | Taught by Victor Perez

After a successful previsualization of our skateboarding spot in our MYA223: Previz for Commercials course, we now move into production for this advanced Nuke course. For principal photography, we will be working with Stiller Studios to create incredible high speed motion control photography.

Taught by Victor Perez, the first several lessons will work through production of the shoot, including behind the scenes insights into the production process; insights which will be invaluable for any visual effects artist who needs to work on-set with motion control.

The course then turns to post-production, including discussion of the workflow of getting the motion control camera data into Nuke for compositing. The high speed Phantom shots will be accented with atmospheric effects such as dust as well as water drops and spray. Several shots will be executed using deep compositing techniques.

As is standard with our courses, the high quality Phantom footage as well as effects elements will be distributed along with the classes so that members may create shots for their reel.
