If you want to learn how to use After Effects to create realistic visual effects (VFX) shots and not just motion graphics, then you're looking at the right course. This course will reveal the tips, tricks and applications of compositing in post-production visual effects - one of the final steps to finishing and executing any visual effects shot.

Using 3 real live-action films as test shots for this course, learn by actually working on shots while following the course as a step-by-step guide to proper and professional compositing.
Why This Course?

Step-by-step guide with practical and hands-on live-action shots to work on
Insights and know-hows that would save you time and money when working on your own visual effects shot

The best part about this course is that it's going to cover all that you need to know about compositing in only the time that is necessary to get the lessons across - unlike those 15-hour courses where most lessons simply just go on forever, or exist for no reason.

If you participate in this course, you will walk away learning and applying what I learned myself, whilst working on the visual effects of major Hollywood film and television, AND saving yourself a bunch of hours with lesson content that only exists when it is necessary.

Already recognized by her country and by major organizations as an expert in her field, Vicki has made great strides for someone her age, being in consistently high demand for jobs - averaging about 4 job offers and requests for interviews per freelance month(s) of availability, whilst her peers are still struggling to find their first entry-level position in the field. At only 24 years of age, she was one of the youngest speakers and presenters at the SMPTE Annual Technical Conference in its time, where she was a panelist and speaker for virtual reality in motion pictures.
She gave a TEDx talk on visual effects and virtual reality in May 2016 at Napa Valley, CA and in November 2018, was invited to speak as a k

Inspiring teacher. But its hard to take her advice serious when the masks ar jumping and shadows are pointing at the wrong direction. The promise in the beginning was to do compositing so that the shot not look fake. Well if the shadow is going in the wrong direction and the mask is jumping ...

the course i quite interesting. but the final results(i don't know if is because works have been done very quickly) looks a little poor.they don't give the real idea of a good professional work.

Vicki's getting better and better with every course! So far she's a great instructor overall. Great speed for delivering information and shes good at recapping instructions and giving relevant information when needed.Supplying the course materials, so I can better follow along is super helpful too.
