Course Overview
This course builds upon the skills and knowledge gained in Compositing 1 with advanced topics and techniques in the fields of Visual Effects and Digital Compositing. Students also will integrate these skills in their projects for other courses taught throughout the term. Vector and Raster based masking will be introduced with special emphasis on the process of Rotoscoping. Students will use Expressions to create dynamic Camera-shakes as well as advanced animation with audio-sync and filters. Color correction will be explored in depth with emphasis on Levels and how it impacts lighting of a scene and editing the final demo reel. Students will also use Stabilizing, and 2D Tracking and its applications. Previous graduates demo reels will be studied as examples of the sequence of compositing and editing a successful demo reel.
