Instructor Details

I am currently the visual effects supervisor within Liquid Blur Studios- I am consistently working on all types of film from 3 min teasers to full blown productions and TV- I wish to share VFX ideas with anyone that wants to listen- I remember in the day there was no such thing as learning vfx - you basically had to know someone in the industry or figure it out yourself- So I am happy to have this opportunity to have some fun with people that either want to see how thing are done,hobbyists or professional students that want a new light on VFX-
I currently work any many programs and hope to push them to there limits- I also like to try and use free based programs when I can so that everyone can jump into the VFX world and not have to worry about software price! So let's get started and make some cool FX!

The course is amazing in all senses. . Great level, clear, easy to follow and the teacher supports is awesome, you will learn some cool Photoshop moves to do matte painting, After effects for compositing and even 3D integration . . so what more can we ask for ? Thanks a lot Bradley ! !

Nope, no, just no...Would have given this course 0 stars if I could. Shame on me for impulse buying a vfx course on sale without previewing the content. There is better free content on youtube than this. What a waste of money.

Enjoyable course. Would like to see more detail.

The best Udemy course I have taken so far. Brilliantly explained - it inspired me to VFX up a sinkhole in my driveway (complete with smashed glass in my rear car window) and I've got my family fooled that I had a meteor strike last night!!
