Very much loving this compositing in AE series. I taught AE as part of a broader course for around 15 years at a College. Watching Mark at work is a real inspiration. I would not encourage anyone to begin their journey into AE with this series, best look at a broader introductory course before commencing this one, but for the seasoned AE user, this course is pure gold. It is just inspirational to watch Mark solve problems in AE using his many years of industry experience. No matter your level of AE understanding, it WILL DEFINITELY be improved after delving in here for a while. Very impressed.

Course details
Compositing is all about matching, and in this course we go beyond the fundamentals of matching foreground and background, into the realm of the truly cinematic. Learn how to use the Curves control to surpass what is possible with any other color-adjustment tool in After Effects. Discover how to match the full conditions of the shot as the camera sees it, including back lighting, lens distortion, and other lens and frame-rate artifacts. To make a shot or sequence that belongs in your movie, you need to know how to flatten the shot so that you can use tools such as Magic Bullet Mojo or Looks to make it look truly cinematic. But even beyond making it flat, it's best for it to have the full depth and response of color as we see it in the natural world, and that requires the use of 32-bit-per-channel HDR. And for maximum drama, you want to be able to play with time itself, and motion blur as well. In this course, Mark Christiansen takes you through all these scenarios and the next step in After Effects compositing: matching a shot and making it look not only realistic, but cinematic.
