Advance Compositing Certificate
The Advanced Compositing short course promises to underline the principles and foundations of compositing, rather than just insight into the use of applications. Widely employed in film and video motion picture production, compositing is the combining of visual elements from separate sources into single images, often to create the illusion that all those elements are parts of the same scene.
Today, the industry is relying more and more on digital image manipulation. Pre-digital compositing techniques and computer softwares are widely used in this process, whereby layering, color correction, and manipulation, blend many different images to make the final image look like a seamless shot.
Aims
SAE Institute’s Advanced Compositing short course addresses the challenges compositors face in a practical manner by focusing on the aspects to follow: Color theories; Motion tracking; Chroma keying; Perspective and depth of field; Matte painting; 2D Motion graphics; 3D Motion graphics; and Compositing in 3D.
The course will refine students’ use of the practical applications for composition in a digital compositing environment. These are: Blue screen, Green Screens, Stock footage/ Motion pictures for backgrounds, Sky, and Nature footage for replacements. Main softwares used in the duration of the course are: Apple Shake; Adobe AfterEffects and Adobe Photoshop.
